Hi,
I'm estimating a cost function with xtfrontier. After the estimation I predict the efficiency scores using predict te_scores,te.
The predicted scores are in the intervall (1;eternity) and hard to interprete though.
The subject has been discussed here already and I've read:
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2005-06/msg00578.html
and
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2007-06/msg00926.html.
However these threads don't really solve my problem: which way do I compute the MEAN efficiency to make it comparable to other studies? Invertation affects the distribution of the scores, so the results vary between:
E(inverse te_scores)
and
1/(E(originally predicted te_scores))
I hope, I managed to explain my problem :-)
Thank you very much in advance...
