Abstract

An interesting new approach for selecting a distribution to describe the observed data has been presented in a paper recently published in Computers and Industrial Engineering. While appreciating the new contribution of the paper, we highlight an important difficulty with their method and suggest that data envelopment analysis (DEA) could be advantageously used to improve the multi-criterion evaluation.
