st: from Gauri (posting troubles) re positive log-likelihood

[Kit Baum <baum@bc.edu>]

Dear Stata list,

I am running the -frontier- command on a cobb douglas specification  
for a production function
using plot level data for a cross section of farmers. Sugarcane  
output on each plot is my dependant variable and my indepedents  
consistent of inputs such as land, labour, fertiliser, irrigation etc.

I get the following value for the Log likeihood = 97

How can I interpret this?

I understand that a positive log likelihood is not unknown when the  
dependant variable is continuous which is true for my case.

However, I am stuck with the interpretation and can't express it in  
words.

Looking forward t your advice.
