Specification of a performance indicator using the evidential-reasoning approach
There are three main problems in DEA concluding overestimation, discrimination, and the handling the peculiar DMUs. The evidential-reasoning approach is used to construct a performance indicator. The constructed performance indicator is employed to combine the information from classic and inverted DEA. The proposed approach can overcome the three mentioned problems. Numerical simulation and empirical studies are conducted to present the findings.
