Fuzzy Stochastic Data Envelopment Analysis with Application to Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC)

Tavana, Madjid; Khanjani Shiraz, Rashed; … - 2014

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric method for evaluating the relative efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs) on the basis of multiple inputs and outputs. Conventional DEA models assume that inputs and outputs are measured by exact values on a ratio scale. However, the...
