Ranking the Importance of Variables in a Nonparametric Frontier Analysis Using Unsupervised Machine Learning Techniques

In this paper, we propose and compare new methodologies for ranking the importance of variables in productive processes via an adaptation of OneClass Support Vector Machines. In particular, we adapt two methodologies inspired by the machine learning literature: one involving the random shuffling of...
