Graphical Presentations of Data Envelopment Analyses: Management Implications from Parallel Axes Representations*
提出用平行轴图展示多变量数据,帮助管理者直观理解数据包络分析的结果,并以发电厂效率分析为例说明该方法。
ABSTRACT The conversion of multivariate data analysis into information that managers can readily use in their decision making has always been a challenging task. In this paper we provide a parallel axis representation of multivariate data and demonstrate how this representation may be used as a tool for implementing the results of data envelopment analysis. We use an analysis of the efficiency of electricity generating plants to illustrate the technique.
