Summer Course: Econometric Production Analysis with R
I will give a summer course in econometric production analysis with R (e.g. using the "frontier" package) in Portugal during the first week of September:
Version 0.995 of the "frontier" package is ready
Version 0.995 of the frontier package is ready for publication now. Binary and source packages will be available on R-Forge and CRAN soon.
frontier 0.99 is NOT backward compatible
We are approaching the first stable version (1.0) of the frontier package, which provides tools for microeconomic Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). I have uploaded a kind of beta release (version 0.99) of this package to CRAN. The most important differences to version 0.9 affect the user interface. I have modified the package so that it is (hopefully) simpler to use and the functions are more similar to other R functions. Unfortunately, these changes make the new version NOT backward compatible. The most significant changes are reported below. A full ChangeLog is available in the log messages of the SVN repository on R-Forge. Feedback about this package is highly appreciated. Please report any bugs, suggestions, feature requests, comments, and questions in the forums and trackers on R-Forge.
