A nonlinear (nonconvex) programming model provides a new definition of efficiency for use in evaluating activities of not-for-profit entities participating in public programs and methods for objectively determining weights by reference to the observational data for the multiple outputs and multiple inputs that characterize such programs.

The purpose of this paper is to briefly trace the evolution of DEA from the initial publication by Charnes et al. (1978b) to the current state of the art (SOA).
Management ScienceThe Use of Categorical Variables in Data Envelopment Analysis
599 Citations1986Rajiv D. Banker, Richard C. Morey
The paper treats the cases when the categorical variable can be controllable or uncontrollable by the manager, for the cases of technical and scale inefficiency, and the approach is illustrated using real data.

Journal of the Operational Research SocietyRelationships between Data Envelopment Analysis and Multicriteria Decision Analysis
254 Citations1996Theodor J. Stewart
A stochastic approach is proposed, in which a probability distribution on efficiencies can be derived for each decision making unit, as a basis for comparison.
