this article will address the extension of super efficiency method to rank the non-extreme efficient decision making units. many methodologies have introduced methods that can rank efficient units, amongst which, the super efficiency method due to its ability to provide meaningful geometrical as well as economic analyses has a significant place. but the common problem with all the super efficie...

Super-efficiency model in the presence of negative data is a relatively neglected issue in the DEA field. The existing super-efficiency models have some shortcomings in practice. In this paper, a novel VRS radial super-efficiency DEA model based on Directional Distance Function (DDF) is proposed to provide a complete ranking order of units (including efficient and inefficient ones). The propose...

Super-efficiency data envelopment analysis (DEA) model is obtained when a decision making unit (DMU) under evaluation is excluded from the reference set. Because of the possible infeasibility of super-efficiency DEA model, the use of super-efficiency DEA model has been restricted to the situations where constant returns to scale (CRS) are assumed. It is shown that one of the input-oriented and ...

introduction: in the developed world, particularly in developing countries, livestock is the most important agricultural sub-sector.livestock of primary and secondary industries has an especial place in the national economybecause of their greatvalue of products, creating job opportunities, providing health products for consumers, increasing export income of the economy throughaccessing global ...

By using the Double Frontiers Criteria, Hurwicz succeeded to achieve The Most Productive Scale Size of decision making units. This Double frontiers criteria was achieved by using two models of “CCR” in optimistic viewpoint in input form and the “CCR” model in pessimistic viewpoint in input form. In this paper, we intend to find a criteria for Double frontiers of super efficiency by using two mo...

The infeasibility problem in traditional super efficiency models has been well established. A generalization of traditional inputor output-oriented super efficiency models, the directional distance function also suffers from infeasibility and related problems. The hyperbolic-oriented efficiency measure provides an alternative to the input-oriented, output-oriented, and directional efficiency me...

Based on the framework of the directional distance function, we conduct a systematic analysis on the measurement of super-efficiency in order to achieve two main objectives. Our primary purpose is developing two generalized directional measures of super-efficiency that completely resolve the crucial infeasibility issue, commonly arisen in the traditional super-efficiency measures. The secondary...

Using super-efficiency, with regard to ranking efficient units, is increasing in DEA. However, this model has some problems such as the infeasibility. Thus, this article studies infeasibility of the input-based super-efficiency model (because of the zero inputs and outputs), and presents a solution by adding two virtual DMUs with mean values (one for inputs and one for outputs). Adding virtual ...
