Keshvari A, Alirezaee M R. RANKING EFFICIENT UNITS BY WEAKENED REFERENCES IN DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS. Journal title 2009; 19 (7) :75-81 URL: http://ijiepm.iust.ac.ir/article-1-278-en.html
This paper presents a model for ranking efficient units by a new approach. In the proposed method, the idea of excluding the unit being scored from the production possibility set is changed to the idea of weakening the unit being scored. We propose a model for ranking efficient DMUs that is more efficient and less problematic than the models based on excluding the under evaluation unit.
