Description: Implements stochastic metafrontier analysis for
        productivity and performance benchmarking across firms
        operating under different technologies. Contains routines for
        the deterministic metafrontier envelope of O'Donnell et al.
        (2008) <doi:10.1007/s00181-007-0119-4> via linear and quadratic
        programming, and the stochastic metafrontier of Huang et al.
        (2014) <doi:10.1007/s11123-014-0402-2>. Also supports latent
        class stochastic metafrontier analysis and sample selection
        correction stochastic metafrontier models. Depends on the
        'sfaR' package by Dakpo et al. (2023)
        <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=sfaR>.
