How to select an epsilon to apply Kourosh and Arash model in data envelopment analysis

This paper demonstrates how an appropriate epsilon value can be selected when Kourosh and Arash Model (KAM) is applied in order to estimate production frontiers as well as simultaneously rank and benchmark Decision Making Units (DMUs). KAM was recently proposed to improve the capabilities of Data En...
