Posterior analysis of stochastic frontier models using Gibbs sampling [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Toward Capacitive In‐Memory‐Computing: A Device to Systems Level Perspective on the Future of Artificial Intelligence Hardware

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Capacitive, charge‐domain compute‐in‐memory (CIM) stores weights as capacitance,eliminating DC sneak paths and IR‐drop, yielding near‐zero standbypower. In this perspective, we present a device to systems level performance analysis of most promising architectures and predict apathway for upscaling capacitive CIM for sustainable edge computing ...

On estimating the effectiveness of resources. A local maximum likelihood frontier approach on care for students [PDF]

open access: yes
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-
