Evaluating group performance of decision-making units (DMUs) is an application of data envelopment analysis (DEA) and usually provides a measure to compare the frontiers of the production possibility sets (PPSs) corresponding to different groups and the internal inefficiencies of DMUs associated...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) can be used for assessing the relative efficiency of a number of operating units, finding, for each unit, a target operating point lying on the strong efficient frontier. Most DEA models project an inefficient unit onto a most distant target, which makes its...
