Description

Pseudolikelihood estimator of the λ parameter

Usage

1
fan(lambda_fan, resp, Ey, ineffD)

Arguments

lambda_fan

the λ=σ_u/σ_v parameter to be estimated

resp

the single response variable Y observed

Ey

the conditional expectation estimate obtained in the first step of the algorithm

ineffD

logical: TRUE for estimating a production function, FALSE for estimating a cost function; this is done for usage compatibility with frontier package

Value

Estimated λ parameter
