On estimating the effectiveness of resources. A local maximum likelihood frontier approach on care for students [PDF]
To study education as a complex production process in a noisy and heterogeneous setting, this paper suggests to using a stochastic frontier model estimated by a local maximum likelihood approach (LMLSF). The LMLSF smoothly combines the virtues of the non-

Efficiency of Health Care Sector at Sub-State Level in India: A Case of Punjab [PDF]
, 2009 In recent years, WHO and other individual researchers have advocated estimation of health system performance through stochastic frontier models. It provides an idealized yardstick to evaluate economic performance of health system.

Posterior analysis of stochastic frontier models using Gibbs sampling [PDF]
, 1992 In this paper we describe the use of Gibbs sampling methods for making posterior inferences in stochastic frontier models with composed error. We show how the Gibbs sampler can greatly reduce the computational difficulties involved in analyzing such ...

Calibrating Online Survey Sample for Economic Impact Analysis [PDF]
Online surveys have emerged as low-cost data collection approach in empirical researches; however, the validity of data remains questionable. Therefore, we employed a stochastic frontier estimation method to calibrate online recreational expenditure ...
