Uncertainty in Data Envelopment Analysis: Fuzzy and Belief Degree-Based Uncertainties

Uncertainty in Data Envelopment Analysis: Fuzzy and Belief Degree-Based Uncertainties introduces methods to investigate uncertain data in DEA models, providing a deeper look into two types of uncertain DEA methods: Fuzzy DEA and Belief Degree Based Uncertainty DEA, which are based on uncertain measures. These models aim to solve problems encountered by classical data analysis in cases where inputs and outputs of systems and processes are volatile and complex, making measurement difficult. Classical data envelopment analysis (DEA) models use crisp data in order to measure inputs and outputs of a given system.

Crisp input and output data are fundamentally indispensable in the conventional DEA models. If these models contain complex-uncertain data, then they will become more important and practical for decision-makers.
