In this work, we derive exact and approximate expressions for the conditional mean and variance of the initial state of a state space model, allowing for unit roots and stochastic inputs. These results provide adequate initial conditions to compute the exact likelihood using the Kalman filter. The e
The measurement of productive eciency through the estimation of production or cost frontiers has received an increasing amount of attention from both academics and practitioners over the last twenty years. This literature was started by Farrell's seminal paper in 1957, which built upon and . Farrel
In this paper we derive computable expressions for the likelihood ratio for Gaussian processes with a discrete two-dimensional parameter domain (for instance, an image). A general formula for the likelihood ratio can be easily derived, but becomes inefficient if the number of elements in the paramet
