Hello all,
I am running a random parameters production frontier while modeling
heteroscedasticity in u. I have come across two issues. First, when
including Eff=u, the model spits out two different estimates of u for each
observation (i.e. two different u variables). For any other model this is
not the case. Second, if I try to introduce a random intercept in the
heteroscedasticity model by including One<n> in the Fcn equation I get the
following error:
Error 695: Variable in FCN=name<type> is not in RHS/RH2/HFN list.
However, if I specify One[n] the model works. The manual says that <n>
corresponds to the heteroscedasticity model and [n] to the mean model. This
appears to be backwards. Any help on either of these questions would be
greatly appreciated. My syntax is below. Thank you!
FRONTIER ; Lhs= LN1OUTPU; Rhs=One,X; Par $
FRONTIER ; Lhs= LN1OUTPU; Rhs=One,X; Hfn=One,X2; Pds=COUNT; RPM; Fcn=One(n);
Pts=50; Halton; Par; Eff=u $
