The dataset from the US Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) consists of 254 toughness results obtained from
non-irradiated representative steels. For each steel $i$, fracture toughness $y_i$ and temperature $x_i$
were measured.

datasets

A variety of functions for the best known and most innovative approaches to nonparametric boundary estimation. The selected methods are concerned with empirical, smoothed, unrestricted as well as constrained fits under both separate and multiple shape constraints. They cover robust approaches to outliers  as well as data envelopment techniques based on piecewise polynomials, splines, local linear fitting, extreme values and kernel smoothing. The package also seamlessly allows for Monte Carlo comparisons among these different estimation methods.  Its use is illustrated via a number of empirical applications and simulated examples.
