概要	Stochastic Frontier Analysis is a frontier regression model, introduced by Aigner, Lovell and Schmidt in 1977, that estimates a production, cost, or profit function while separating each unit's technical inefficiency from ordinary statistical noise. It splits the error term into a symmetric random component and a one-sided inefficiency component, producing firm- or country-level efficiency scores.	Ordinary Least Squares is the classical linear regression method that explains a continuous outcome as a linear combination of predictors. It estimates the coefficients by minimising the sum of squared residuals, and under the Gauss-Markov assumptions these estimates are the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE).	Quantile regression models conditional quantiles of an outcome - the median, the 25th or 75th percentile, and so on - rather than the conditional mean that OLS targets. Introduced by Koenker and Bassett in 1978, it reveals how predictors act across the whole distribution, including its tails.
