Підсумок	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.	Stochastic Frontier Analysis is a frontier regression model, introduced by Aigner, Lovell and Schmidt in 1977, that estimates a production, cost, or profit function while separating each unit's technical inefficiency from ordinary statistical noise. It splits the error term into a symmetric random component and a one-sided inefficiency component, producing firm- or country-level efficiency scores.
