Abstract

In the present study, the authors propose DE(A)NN, an integration of data envelopment analysis (DEA) and artificial neural networks (ANN) as a decision making tool. The performance of proposed DE(A)NN is validated on a case study for measuring the relative efficiency of 21 Indian state education boards. As expected, it is observed that DE(A)NN increases the discriminatory power of DEA for ranking of the decision making units.
