Specification of a performance indicator using the evidential-reasoning approach
作者：
Highlights：
• There are three main problems in DEA concluding overestimation, discrimination, and the handling the peculiar DMUs.
• The evidential-reasoning approach is used to construct a performance indicator.
• The constructed performance indicator is employed to combine the information from classic and inverted DEA.
• The proposed approach can overcome the three mentioned problems.
• Numerical simulation and empirical studies are conducted to present the findings.
