Abstract

In a recent paper Po, Guh and Yang [Po, R.-W., Guh, Y.-Y., Yang, M.-S., 2009. A new clustering approach using data envelopment analysis. European Journal of Operational Research 199, 276-284] propose a new algorithm for forming clusters from the results of a DEA analysis. In this comment it is explained that the algorithm only generates information that is readily available from the usual DEA results.
