Using the gradient line for ranking DMUs in DEA. (English) Zbl 1043.90539

Summary: A method, based on using gradient line, for ranking DMUs is proposed. The advantage of this method is its stability and robustness, where data have special structure. Some numerical examples are presented to show the results.
