Bootstrap DEA/Evidence
Method evidence record

Bootstrap DEA

Bootstrap Data Envelopment Analysis (Bootstrap DEA) is a resampling-based extension of standard DEA that provides statistically valid inference for efficiency scores. Introduced by Simar and Wilson in 1998, it addresses the core weakness of classical DEA — its inability to quantify uncertainty in estimated scores — by constructing bootstrap confidence intervals and bias-corrected efficiency estimates from repeatedly resampled pseudo-frontiers.
