Choosing weights in optimal solutions for DEA-BCC models by means of a N-dimensional smooth frontier

The DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) smoothed frontier was introduced to solve the problem of multiple optimal solutions in the extreme efficient DMUs (Decision Making Units), which hinders the knowledge of the substitution rates (tradeoffs). It consists of changing the original frontier (piecewise l...
