Experimental comparison of results provided by ranking methods in Data Envelopment Analysis

作者:

Highlights:

• We consider the use of efficiency analysis methods for ranking Decision Making Units.

• We formalize a new category of ranking methods based on robustness analysis.

• The results provided by sixteen methods are compared on real and artificial datasets.

• The real-world sets are typcial for, e.g., finances, education, or transportation.

• We indicate groups of ranking methods offering similar or distinct results
