deaR (version 1.4.1)

model_additive: Additive DEA model.

Description

Solve the additive model of Charnes et. al (1985). With the current version of deaR, it is possible to solve input-oriented, output-oriented, and non-oriented additive model under constant and non-constant returns to scale.

Besides, the user can set weights for the input slacks and/or output slacks. So, it is also possible to solve weighted additive models. For example: Measure of Inefficiency Proportions (MIP), Range Adjusted Measure (RAM), etc.

Usage

model_additive(datadea,
               dmu_eval = NULL,
               dmu_ref = NULL,
               orientation = NULL,
               weight_slack_i = 1,
               weight_slack_o = 1,
               rts = c("crs", "vrs", "nirs", "ndrs", "grs"),
               L = 1,
               U = 1,
               compute_target = TRUE,
               returnlp = FALSE,
               ...)

Arguments

datadea

A deadata object with n DMUs, m inputs and s outputs.

dmu_eval

A numeric vector containing which DMUs have to be evaluated. If NULL (default), all DMUs are considered.

dmu_ref

A numeric vector containing which DMUs are the evaluation reference set. If NULL (default), all DMUs are considered.

orientation

This parameter is either NULL (default) or a string, equal to "io" (input-oriented) or "oo" (output-oriented). It is used to modify the weight slacks. If input-oriented, weight_slack_o are taken 0. If output-oriented, weight_slack_i are taken 0.

weight_slack_i

A value, vector of length m, or matrix m x ne (where ne is the length of dmu_eval) with the weights of the input slacks. If 0, output-oriented.

weight_slack_o

A value, vector of length s, or matrix s x ne (where ne is the length of dmu_eval) with the weights of the output slacks. If 0, input-oriented.

rts

A string, determining the type of returns to scale, equal to "crs" (constant), "vrs" (variable), "nirs" (non-increasing), "ndrs" (non-decreasing) or "grs" (generalized).

L

Lower bound for the generalized returns to scale (grs).

U

Upper bound for the generalized returns to scale (grs).

compute_target

Logical. If it is TRUE, it computes targets.

returnlp

Logical. If it is TRUE, it returns the linear problems (objective function and constraints).

...

Ignored, for compatibility issues.
