Fuzzy data envelopment analysis (DEA): a possibility approach
Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 139(2), 379–394.
author keywords: data envelopment analysis; fuzzy mathematical programming; possibility theory; efficiency analysis
TL;DR:
The approach transforms fuzzy DEA models into possibility DEA models by using possibility measures of fuzzy events (fuzzy constraints) and it is shown that for the special case, in which fuzzy membership functions of fuzzy data are of trapezoidal types, possibility DEA model become linear programming models.
