Abstract
This paper proposes the method to derive the inner evaluation of a unit in a group of units in the sense of efficiency from the multiple perspectives. It aims to compare the multiple evaluations of a unit rather than the evaluations of the units. For a comprehensive analysis of a unit, its evaluations from the multiple perspectives are necessary, although it is not easy for us to compare them each other. Even from a specific perspective, we can have various evaluations depending on the viewpoints for the unit. In order to tackle these issues, first, we measure the efficiency of a unit from each perspective. We denote it as an efficiency interval considering various viewpoints based on interval data envelopment analysis. Then, we normalize the obtained multiple efficiency intervals with respect to the perspectives so that they can be compared. The normalized efficiency intervals are useful to know the characteristic of the unit in detail instead to rank the units.
