The overall assurance interval for the non-archimedean epsilon in dea models

Abstract

Mehrabian, et. al. (1998) presented a procedure "for determining overall assurance interval of $\epsilon$. Solving n linear programs are needed for this propose, where n is the number of Decision Making Units involved in the evaluation. This paper proposes an efficient algorithm that can determine the overall assurance interval of $\epsilon$ by solving a few number of linear programs.
