Super-Efficiency Data Envelopment Analysis
DEA-SUPEREFF (Super-Efficiency Data Envelopment Analysis) is a ranking multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by Andersen, P. Petersen, N. C. in 1993. 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.

When to use it
Use to discriminate among CCR-efficient DMUs. Infeasibility possible for some input-oriented models.
Strengths & limitations
Strengths
- Follows a transparent, reproducible computational procedure that can be audited step by step.
