RE: st: RE: Frontier,stata 8 & stata 9
Dear Scott,
I did try the difficult option but that too had failed. I also looked at the
gradient to see whether it nears zero and it does... so I thought that might
be a good point to stop the iteration if the gradient no longer changes or
arbitrarily set iterations to a maximum of 500 and take the values at that
point?
Regarding the maximisation algorithm, where can I find more information on
this as I am not aware of this.
Also, I guess you would not know why the noconstant option is not working in
stata 8 for the equation:
frontier logoutput logcorarea loglabour logmanure logfertiliserval logtrac
logox logirrigation cropdum, uhet(experience age corarea, noconstant). I
tried various combinations, eliminating the space or inserting brackets...
but no show.
Thank you for your help.

Have you tried using the difficult option or changing the maximization
algorithm.
