Stochastic Frontier Analysis using Stata [PDF]
The Stata Journal: Promoting communications on statistics and Stata, 2012 This article describes sfcross and sfpanel, two new Stata commands for the estimation of cross-sectional and panel-data stochastic frontier models. sfcross extends the capabilities of the frontier command by including additional models (Greene, 2003, Journal of Productivity Analysis 19: 179–190; Wang, 2002, Journal of Productivity Analysis 18: 241–253)

Annals of Operations Research, 2023 We introduce methods to apply stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) to financial assets as an alternative to data envelopment analysis, because SFA allows us to fit a frontier with noisy data. In contrast to conventional SFA, we wish to deal with estimation
