Dear Arne, Thank you very much for your response. I will certainly read it carefully and if I have further questions (after our discussion on this problem), I will go to R forge. I am relatively new in SFA and productivity analysis. Regarding your question on the presence of any software

Hi, I am trying to find out the scale efficiency and optimal scale of banks by stochastic frontier analysis given the panel data of bank. I am free to choose any model of stochastic frontier analysis. The only approach I know to work with R is to estimate a translog production function by
