Environmental Efficiency Evaluation Method Based on Data Envelopment Analysis and Improved Neural Network

Economic development in China requires lots of energy to support it, but how to acquire an adequate energy supply is a difficult problem. Meantime, environmental pollution caused by energy consumption is a problem that immediately needs to be solved. To adapt to China’s rapidly emerging economy, and...
