walnut is one of the important products in kerman province and baft town is the main area of ‎walnut orchards. so the technical, allocative and economical efficiency of walnut farmers computed ‎assign the degree of farmer’s success in the optimum allocation of their resources. at first the ‎proper production function was estimated, and then stochastic frontier production and technical, ‎efficie...

Literature of productive efficiency analysis is currently divided between two main paradigms: the parametric Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) and the deterministic, nonparametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). This paper develops a new encompassing framework that melds the SFA-style stochastic composite error term to the DEA-type nonparametric frontier that satisfies monotonicity and concav...

this paper uses the concept of meta-frontier to investigate the relationship between meta technology ratios (mtr) and different varieties in datepalms including; mazafati, rabi and zardan that are produced widely in sistan and baluchestan province of iran. we used a stratified sampling of 300 date farmers of this province in 2010, 2011 and 2012 and estimated a stochastic production frontier usi...

A lot is known about the Hölder regularity of stochastic processes, in particular in the case of Gaussian processes. Recently, a finer analysis of the local regularity of functions, termed 2-microlocal analysis, has been introduced in a de-terministic frame: through the computation of the so-called 2-microlocal frontier, it allows in particular to predict the evolution of regularity under the a...
