由Battese和Coelli（1992）开发并由Hofler和Payne（1996）应用于美式足球的随机前沿生产模型方法被应用于（澳大利亚）国家橄榄球联盟（NRL）比赛中的球队得分，使用性能影响和游戏特定变量作为得分（生产）过程的输入。在模拟两个独立的前沿模型（主队得分，客队得分）的证据被发现支持以前的研究结果存在的主场优势（理查森，2000年）。对手得分，成功的守门员，客队的奖金，主队的赛季表现和主队的名册从一场比赛到另一场比赛的营业额都被发现是统计显着相关的得分。由此产生的效率估计表明，平均而言，主队得分比客队更有效，并且两者得分效率都很高。
The stochastic frontier production model methodology developed by Battese and Coelli (1992) and applied to American football by Hofler and Payne (1996) is applied to team pointscoring in the (Australasian) National Rugby League (NRL) competition, using performance-influencing and game-specific variables as inputs into the point scoring (production) process. Upon modelling two separate frontier models (home team point scoring, and visiting team point scoring) evidence is found to support previous findings of the existence of a homeground advantage (Richardson, 2000). Points scored by the opposition, successful goalkicking, scrums awarded to the visiting team, the home team's season performance and the home team's roster turnover from game to game were all found to be statistically significantly related to point scoring. The resulting efficiency estimates indicate that, on average, home teams score their points more efficiently than visiting teams, and both score points with high levels of efficiency.
