Epsilon-Based Measure DEA

Epsilon-Based Measure DEA (EBM-DEA) is a non-parametric efficiency analysis method that evaluates how efficiently organizational units convert inputs into outputs. Unlike simple ratio-based methods, EBM accounts for slacks (unused inputs, unmet outputs) proportionally in both input and output dimensions. It produces a single efficiency score between 0 and 1, with 1 indicating best-practice efficiency.
