Super-Efficiency DEA/Evidence
Method evidence record

Super-Efficiency DEA

Super-Efficiency DEA is a nonparametric linear programming extension of classical Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) introduced by Andersen and Petersen (1993). While standard DEA assigns a maximum efficiency score of 1.0 to all units on the efficient frontier, Super-Efficiency DEA allows efficient units to receive scores greater than 1.0 by temporarily removing the evaluated unit from the reference set. This modification enables full ranking of all decision-making units (DMUs), including those previously indistinguishable at the frontier.
