So far, some statistical tests have been developed. This article addresses estimating the difference between expected outputs of two groups of DMUs. In contrast to other efficiency evaluation methods, this publication focuses on quantitative assessment of this difference, not on the hypothesis testing. The article focuses on single output DMUs and the designed statistical tests are examined on various simulated data sets as well as on one realworld example. Some of them stem from the data envelopment analysis, others are related to the local regression. cav_un_auth*0294526 The 3rd International Workshop on Scalable Decision Making: Uncertainty, Imperfection, Deliberation held in conjunction with ECML/PKDD 2013 Prague 23.09.2013-23.09.2013 CZ 2014 BB 1 PO RVO:67985556 http://hdl.handle.net/11104/0224703 1 2013 cav_un_epca*0396446 Preprints of the 3rd International Workshop on Scalable Decision Making held in conjunction with ECML/PKDD 2013 978-80-903834-8-7 Preprints of the 3rd International Workshop on Scalable Decision Making held in conjunction with ECML/PKDD 2013 Prague Institute of Information Theory and Automation 2013 Guy Tatiana V. 340 Kárný Miroslav 340
