You can specify more than one technique so that ML will switch between
the algorithms:
. webuse xtfrontier1,clear
. xtfrontier lnwidgets lnworkers lnmachines , tvd difficult tech(nr dfp)
In the sectors where are you having problems you might try to rescale
the variables so that are all on about the same scale.
