A New Partial Ordered Relation Determining Method in Data Envelopment Analysis Approach
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method to estimate the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs).So far,a number of evaluating methods of DMUs have been developed.However,few researchers studied the special relationships between different DMUs.The partial order relations of DMUs are introduced.Then,the related examples,theorems and algorithms which can determine the partial order graph and partial order matrix are provided.
