Abstract
The related term here is decision making units (DMUs), multiple outputs (MIMO), the expression for the efficiency
which means any entity within the set of data that con- is given as follows:
tains other such entities to be evaluated. These evalua-
tions result in a performance score that ranges between weighted combinations of outputs (known as virtual outputs)
zero to unity, thus indicating a degree of efficiency for each weighted combinations of inputs (known as virtual inputs)
DMU. The DMUs with the highest score i.e., 1 become (3)
evaluating entities and serve as benchmarks. The scores of
less efficient DMUs are given relative to the benchmarked To create a mathematical model of the same, a data
DMU, thus implying improvement prospects in the future set having “a” utilities, “n” outputs (y) is produced by
trends. In a nutshell, DEA measures the relative effi- “m” given inputs (x), such that equations below give the
ciency of each DMU with respect to the best performing expression for “rth” DMU (in MIMO form):
DMU [15], [16].
