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>.
