Introduction to Data Envelopment Analysis and Its Uses
With DEA-Solver Software and References
▶ This is a review of the basic principles of the authors' highly
successful textbook, Data Envelopment Analysis: A Comprehensive
Text with Models, Applications, References, and DEA-Solver Software
▶ BUNDLED SOFTWARE FEATURE: The bundled DEA-Solver can solve
111 DEA models in 28 clusters, e.g., CCR, BCC, SBM, Super-efficiency,
Window Analysis, Non-discretionary, Bounded Variable, Bilateral
Comparisons, FDH, Cost, Revenue, Profit, New-Cost, New-Revenue,
New-Profit and much more
Recent years have seen a great variety of applications of DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis)
for use in evaluating the performances of many different kinds of entities engaged in
