The field of performance measurement with fuzzy and imprecise data is continuing to grow. Linear programming in general and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in particular have always played a vital role in measuring efficiency and productivity of Decision Making Units. Today, the observed values of the input and output data in many real-world problems are imprecise or vague. Operations Research Models and fuzzy sets have shown tremendous potential in dealing with imprecise, vague and uncertain data.<\/p>\n

For this reason, we have taken the initiative to edit a special issue on \u201cFuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis: Recent Developments and Applications”, which draws on two branches of literature: 1. Fuzzy concepts for its ability to account for imprecision, and 2. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for its vital role in modeling efficiency and productivity.\u00a0 This special issue aims at providing a collection of recent and state-of-the-art contributions, including novel integration between fuzzy concepts and DEA. Both theoretical and practical papers using advanced models in fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis are considered.<\/p>\n
