fdh {nonparaeff}

Linear Programming for the Free Disposable Hull

Description

Solve input(output)-oriented FDH

Usage

fdh(base = NULL, frontier = NULL, noutput = 1, orientation=1)

Arguments

base

A data set for DMUs to be evaluated. A data frame with J1*(M+N) dimention, where J1 is the number of DMUs, M for the number of inputs, and N for the number of outputs.

frontier

A data set for DMUs to be used in constructing a production possibility set (PPS). A data frame with J2*(M+N) dimention, where J2 is the number of DMUs, M for the number of inputs, and N for the number of outputs.

noutput

The number of outputs (N).

orientation

Orientation of measurement. 1 for the input-oriented measure, and 2 for the output-oriented measure.

Details

The input (output) -oriented FDH is calculated.

Value

A data frame of J1*1 dimention which shows efficiency scores.
