DEA Cross-Efficiency — peer appraisal using cross-evaluation matrix
DEA-CROSSEFF (DEA Cross-Efficiency — peer appraisal using cross-evaluation matrix) is a dea multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by Sexton, T. R., Silkman, R. H., Hogan, A. J. in 1986. It turns a decision matrix of alternatives scored on multiple criteria into a structured, reproducible result.
Key highlights
- Follows a transparent, reproducible computational procedure that can be audited step by step.
- Handles multiple criteria of differing scales and units within a single decision matrix.

Strengths & limitations
Strengths
- Follows a transparent, reproducible computational procedure that can be audited step by step.
- Handles multiple criteria of differing scales and units within a single decision matrix.
Limitations
- Assumes full compensation — a strong score on one criterion can offset a weak score on another.
