New features:
- estimator = c('bc88', 'jlms'): Battese-Coelli (1988) conditional
expectation as the new default efficiency estimator; both stored,
switchable via efficiencies() without refitting.
- objective = c('lp', 'qp'): both identification criteria for the
deterministic metafrontier (QP solved exactly via quadprog with a
constrOptim barrier fallback); the bootstrap forwards the choice.
- engine = c('internal', 'sfaR', 'frontier', 'Benchmarking'):
backend delegation for group frontiers; Benchmarking XREF/YREF
drives the pooled DEA metafrontier.
- malmquist_meta(id = ): explicit firm matching with strict checks;
cross-period infeasibilities counted, warned, and reported; the
SFA path documents and announces its pointwise-maximum
approximation.
- check_convergence() diagnostics; convergence blocks in print()
and summary(); warning gaps closed in panel, QP, EM, and
Malmquist paths.
- DEA: rts = 'fdh', hyperbolic (graph) efficiency, user-supplied
DDF direction vectors/matrices, two-stage slack analysis;
permutation poolability test for DEA fits.
- coef()/vcov()/summary() expose eta and variance parameters
(extraPar, which = 'group').
- simulate_metafrontier(): beta_groups, input_means, input_corr;
simulate_panel_metafrontier(): attrition; unbalanced BC92 panels
fully supported.
Bug fixes:
- Panel TE row-order alignment; BC92 decay anchored at the global
final period; cross-period DEA phi lower bound; frontier-class
dispatch and converter idempotency; poolability data.name;
autoplot CI lines and MPI trend axis; EM cleanup.
Docs: vignettes rewritten and rebuilt, man pages expanded,
likelihood derivation comments added. 650 tests passing; R CMD
check clean.
