Evaluation of Performance of Sepah Bank Branches using with Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Discriminant Analysis (DA)

The selection of input and output variables in DEA is the importance and performance scores of the units is affected from the selected variables. In this study is presented A method for selecting the input and output variables based on the Discriminant Analysis (DA). In this method, the relative importance of the variables in determining the join units in two the dependent variable (efficient and inefficient) or the coefficients of the standard discriminant introduced as the criteria for the selection of the main variables in every model.
