Dominant Competitive Factors for evaluating program efficiency in grouped data

John Rousseau and John Semple

Annals of Operations Research, 1997, vol. 73, issue 0, 253-276

Abstract: Dominant Competitive Factors, unique solutions to a new class of two-person ratio efficiency games, are introduced as a means for distinguishing exceptional aspects of individual performance. The vectors of input-output multipliers thus obtained may be analyzed collectively so that commonalities within groups and differences across groups may be discovered. The method is applied to "Program Follow-Through", the original impetus for developing Data Envelopment Analysis. Our results are compared with those of the earlier study, whereupon substantial new insights are obtained. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1997
