Calculates the maximum technical efficiency (MTE) based on a quadratic
polynomial model, if it is significant. The MTE is given by:
$$MTE = -\frac{\beta_1}{2\beta_2}$$
It also calculates plateau regression parameters, returning:
- The plateau value: $$Y_{plateau} = \beta_0 + \beta_1 X_{plateau} + \beta_2 X_{plateau}^2$$
- The growth rate: $$\beta_1$$
- The inflection point: $$X_{inflection} = -\frac{\beta_1}{2\beta_2}$$
