The traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) models for the observations containing ratio data as input or output may result incorrect efficiency scores. To overcome this shortcoming, a set of modified DEA models has been presented in this paper by taking into account the correct convexity of decision making units (DMUs) when a ratio variable is included in the assessment model.
