ImpreciseDEA-CCR-SMAA_ranks

Provider:PUT
Version:1.0

Description

Computes ranks for the given DMUs (alternatives) using SMAA-D method and CCR Data Envelopment Analysis Model with imprecise data. For given number of samples returns a matrix with alternatives in each row and rankings in each column. Single cell indicates how many samples of respective alternative gave respective position in ranking.

Inputs

units

Description:

A list of alternatives (DMUs).

inputs/outputs

Description:

A list of criteria with specified preference direction. List has to contains at least one criterion that will be minimized (input) and at least one criterion that will be maximized (output).
