A Stochastic Frontier Model for Definition of Non-Technical Loss Targets
Energies, 2020 The theft of electrical energy is one of the main problems faced by electricity distribution utilities, especially in developing countries. Aware of the difficulties in combating non-technical losses (NTLs) in Brazil, the National Electric Energy Agency (

PERTUMBUHAN TFP DAN PENGEMBANGAN EFISIENSI PRODUKSI
Buletin Ekonomi Moneter dan Perbankan, 2007 This paper investigates both the accumulation and the quality of the input factors with stochastic frontier production function model. The application of the model also enables us to predict the technical efficiency of the input factors for each province

Robust Bayesian Inference in Stochastic Frontier Models [PDF]
Journal of Risk and Financial Management, 2019 We use the concept of coarsened posteriors to provide robust Bayesian inference via coarsening in order to robustify posteriors arising from stochastic frontier models. These posteriors arise from tempered versions of the likelihood when at most a pre-specified amount of data is used, and are robust to changes in the model.

A stochastic frontier model for measuring online bank profit efficiency
South African Journal of Business Management, 2011 This study revisited an alternative profit efficiency function specified by Berger Mester, (1997) and we applied Battese Coelli, (1995) inefficiency model as a unified and consistent framework in exploring the determinants of important factors causing ...

Identification and Stochastic Analysis of Factors Influencing Technical Inefficiency of Nigerian Smallholder Soybean Farmers [PDF]
Tropicultura, 2014 Smallholder soybean production is investigated using an econometric analysis otherwise known as stochastic frontier analysis through transcendental logarithmic (translog) production function, which incorporates an inefficiency effects model.
