Abstract :
The paper deals with Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). We believe that solving for the DEA efficiency measure, simultaneously with neural network model, provides a promising rich approach to optimal solution. In this paper, a new neural network model is used to estimate the inefficiency of DMUs in large datasets.
