چکیده مقاله :
A new algorithm for classification of DMUs to efficient and inefficient units in data envelopment analysis is presented. This algorithm uses the non-Archimedean Charnes-Cooper-Rhodes[1] (CCR) model. Also, it applies an assurance value for the non-Archimedean using only simple computations on inputs and outputs of DMUs (see [18]). The convergence and efficiency of the new algorithm show the advantage of this algorithm compared to the Thrall’s algorithm (see [23]).
