copulaSQM

Description

Provides estimation procedures for copula-based stochastic frontier quantile models for cross-sectional data. The package implements maximum likelihood estimation of quantile regression models allowing flexible dependence structures between error components through various copula families (e.g., Gaussian and Student-t). It enables estimation of conditional quantile effects, dependence parameters, log-likelihood values, and information criteria (AIC and BIC). The framework combines quantile regression methodology introduced by Koenker and Bassett (1978) <doi:10.2307/1913643> with copula theory described in Joe (2014, ISBN:9781466583221). This approach allows modeling heterogeneous effects across quantiles while capturing nonlinear dependence structures between variables.
