Abstract

An evaluated method based on Data envelopment analysis (DEA) to a second order conic robust counterpart was developed and used to protect the perturbation of the output within an uncertainty environment. This robust DEA was then evaluated by studying the effect of the wood hardening treatment on the hybrid poplar clones. The numerical results indicated that the performance of the methyl methacrylate (MMA) hardened hybrid poplar woods varied among clones. The reliability also suggested that the optimization of hardening treatment could be done by selecting hybrid poplar clone types and the amount of impregnated chemicals in the future experiments.
