		Copula Based Stochastic Frontier Quantile Model // Provides
		estimation procedures for copula-based stochastic frontier
		quantile models for cross-sectional data. The package
		implements maximum likelihood estimation of quantile regression
		models allowing flexible dependence structures between error
		components through various copula families (e.g., Gaussian and
		Student-t). It enables estimation of conditional quantile
		effects, dependence parameters, log-likelihood values, and
		information criteria (AIC and BIC). The framework combines
		quantile regression methodology introduced by Koenker and
		Bassett (1978) doi:10.2307/1913643 with copula theory described
		in Joe (2014, ISBN:9781466583221). This approach allows
		modeling heterogeneous effects across quantiles while capturing
		nonlinear dependence structures between variables.
