A robust cross-efficiency data envelopment analysis model with undesirable outputs

作者:

Highlights:

• Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is challenged by imprecise, uncertain, and stochastic data.

• Two DEA adaptations (interval and robust) are developed with uncertain data and undesirable outputs.

• An epsilon-based robust interval cross-efficiency model is extended.

• An example and a real-world application are presented to compare our method with an interval method.

• The ability of our method to improve discernibility among DMUs is demonstrated.
