Description: # pyStoNED [![Documentation Status](https://readthedocs.org/projects/pystoned/badge/?version=latest)](https://pystoned.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest)
        
        `pyStoNED` is a Python package that provides functions for estimating Convex Nonparametric Least Square (CNLS), Stochastic Nonparametric Envelopment of Data (StoNED), and other various StoNED-related variants such as Convex Quantile Regression (CQR), Convex Expectile Regression (CER), and Isotonic CNLS (ICNLS). It also provides efficiency measurement using Data Envelopement Analysis (DEA) and Free Disposal Hull (FDH). The `pyStoNED` package allows the user to estimate the CNLS/StoNED frontiers in an open-access environment and is built based on the [Pyomo](http://www.pyomo.org/).
