Description:

There is one possible method parameter – “type”. It indicates model formulation for cross efficiency evaluation – aggressive or benevolent.

GUI information:

• Parameter values can be defined via the GUI or the XMCDA file, by default via GUI.
• Name: type
  • Type: drop-down list

  • Possible values:

    • Aggressive (XMCDA label : aggressive) (default)
    • Benevolent (XMCDA label : benevolent)
