This study develops a new use of data envelopment analysis for estimating a stochastic frontier cost function that is assumed to have two different error components ...

Confused about cost functions in neural networks? In this video, we break down what cost functions are, why they matter, and which types are best for different applications—from classification to ...

An alternative technique for recovering the technology from the cost function is investigated. The recovery method uses an optimization problem with a finite number of constraints that, under ...
