residuals: Extract residuals of stochastic frontier models

In sfaR: Stochastic Frontier Analysis Routines

Extract residuals of stochastic frontier models

Description

This function returns the residuals' values from stochastic frontier models estimated with sfacross, sfalcmcross, or sfaselectioncross.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'sfacross'
residuals(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'sfalcmcross'
residuals(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'sfaselectioncross'
residuals(object, ...)

Arguments

object	A stochastic frontier model returned by sfacross, sfalcmcross, or sfaselectioncross.
...	Currently ignored.

Value

When the object is of class 'sfacross', or 'sfaselectioncross', residuals returns a vector of residuals values.

When the object is of 'sfalcmcross', residuals returns a data frame containing the residuals values for each latent class, where each variable ends with '_c#', '#' being the class number.

Note

The residuals values are ordered in the same way as the corresponding observations in the dataset used for the estimation.
