It potentially has various applications in different domains such as portfolio selection, inventory management, pollution reduction, sustainable development, resource allocation and reallocation, and performance analysis. In real life, decisions often need to be made under unknown scenarios. In our terminology, uncertainty refers to the variability of data and optimization refers to the analysis and solution of a problem that involves optimizing an objective, given a set of constraints. This chapter deals with uncertain optimization problems with a special emphasis on data envelopment analysis (DEA). Since many books discuss fuzzy optimization problems, only the stochastic type of uncertainty in data and models is considered here.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDEAMeasureOptimizationUncertaintyBook Chapter4534642-s2.0-8520282287010.1016/B978-0-443-16147-6.00020-7
