#' sfaR: A package for estimating stochastic frontier models
#'
#' The \pkg{sfaR} package provides a set of tools (maximum likelihood - ML and
#' maximum simulated likelihood - MSL) for various specifications of stochastic
#' frontier analysis (SFA).
#'
#' Three categories of functions are available: \code{\link{sfacross}},
#' \code{\link{sfalcmcross}}, \code{\link{sfaselectioncross}},
#' which estimate different types of frontiers and offer eleven alternative
#' optimization algorithms (i.e., "bfgs", "bhhh", "nr", "nm", "cg", "sann",
#' "ucminf", "mla", "sr1", "sparse", "nlminb").

#' @section sfacross: \code{\link{sfacross}} estimates the basic stochastic
#' frontier analysis (SFA) for cross-sectional or pooled data and allows for
#' ten different distributions for the one-sided error term. These distributions
#' include the exponential, the gamma, the generalized exponential,
#' the half normal, the lognormal, the truncated normal, the truncated skewed
#' Laplace, the Rayleigh, the uniform, and the Weibull distributions.
#' In the case of the gamma, lognormal, and Weibull distributions, maximum
#' simulated likelihood (MSL) is used with the possibility of four specific
#' distributions to construct the draws: halton, generalized halton, sobol and
#' uniform. Heteroscedasticity in both error terms can be implemented, in
#' addition to heterogeneity in the truncated mean parameter in the case of the
#' truncated normal and lognormal distributions. In addition, in the case of the
#' truncated normal distribution, the scaling property can be estimated.
#'
#' @section sfalcmcross: \code{\link{sfalcmcross}} estimates latent class
#' stochastic frontier models (LCM) for cross-sectional or pooled data.
#' It accounts for technological heterogeneity by splitting the observations
#' into a maximum number of five classes. The classification operates based on
#' a logit functional form that can be specified using some covariates (namely,
#' the separating variables allowing the separation of observations in several
#' classes). Only the half normal distribution is available for the one-sided
#' error term. Heteroscedasticity in both error terms is possible. The choice of
#' the number of classes can be guided by several information criteria (i.e.,
#' AIC, BIC, or HQIC).
#'
#' @section sfaselectioncross: \code{\link{sfaselectioncross}} estimates the
#' frontier for cross-sectional or pooled data in the presence of sample
#' selection. The model solves the selection bias due to the correlation
#' between the two-sided error terms in both the selection and the frontier
#' equations. The likelihood can be estimated using five different
#' possibilities: gauss-kronrod quadrature, adaptive integration over hypercubes
#' (hcubature and pcubature), gauss-hermite quadrature, and
#' maximum simulated likelihood. Only the half normal
#' distribution is available for the one-sided error term. Heteroscedasticity
#' in both error terms is possible.
