Abstract
Several attempts have been made to deal with uncertain input and output data in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). However, due to the limitation of these methods, they cannot be applied for solving DEA with indeterminacy, impreciseness, vagueness, inconsistent and incompleteness information. So this paper for the first time deals with the Neutrosophic Data Envelopment Analysis and present a new model to solve it.
