pystoned 0.4.0

A Package for Stochastic Nonparametric Envelopment of Data (StoNED) in Python

StoNED-Python

StoNED-Python project provides the python codes for estimating Convex Nonparametric Least Square (CNLS), Stochastic Nonparametric Envelopment of Data (StoNED), and other different StoNED-related variants. It allows the user to estimate the CNLS/StoNED models in an open-access environment rather than in commercial software, e.g., GAMS, MATLAB. The StoNED-Python project is built based on the PYOMO.
