| Summary≠ | Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric, linear-programming technique for measuring the relative productive efficiency of comparable units — firms, plants, hospitals, schools, bank branches — that convert multiple inputs into multiple outputs. Introduced by Charnes, Cooper, and Rhodes in 1978 and rooted in Farrell's 1957 work on efficiency measurement, it constructs a best-practice frontier that envelops the observed data and scores each unit by its distance to that frontier, requiring no assumed functional form for the production technology. | DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis (CCR model) for efficiency-based ranking) is a dea multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by Charnes, A., Cooper, W. W., Rhodes, E. in 1978. It turns a decision matrix of alternatives scored on multiple criteria into a structured, reproducible result. |
