Kopsavilkums	The stochastic frontier model is a parametric method for estimating productive efficiency that separates a producer's shortfall from best practice into two parts: genuine inefficiency and random noise. Introduced independently in 1977 by Aigner, Lovell, and Schmidt and by Meeusen and van den Broeck, it specifies a production (or cost) function with a composed error term — a symmetric disturbance for luck and measurement error plus a one-sided, non-negative term for inefficiency — and estimates it by maximum likelihood, yielding firm-specific efficiency scores that, unlike deterministic methods, are robust to statistical noise.	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.
