| efficiencies.frontier {frontier} | R Documentation |
This method returns efficiency estimates from stochastic frontier models
estimated with frontier.
## S3 method for class 'frontier': efficiencies( object, asInData = FALSE, logDepVar = TRUE, ... )
object |
a stochastic frontier model
returned by frontier. |
asInData |
logical. If TRUE,
the efficiency estimates are returned in the same order
as the corresponding observations in the data set
used for the estimation
(see section ‘value’ below). |
logDepVar |
logical. Is the dependent variable logged? |
... |
currently ignored. |
If argument asInData is FALSE (default),
a matrix of efficiency estimates is returned,
where each row corresponds to a firm (cross-section unit)
and each column corresponds to a time period
(only if efficiency estimates differ between time periods).
If argument asInData is TRUE,
a vector of efficiency estimates is returned,
where the efficiency estimates are in the same order
as the corresponding observations in the data set
used for the estimation.
