Abstract
In this paper, we address the problem of assessing the influence of a given unit in the sample when evaluating efficiency by using both radial and nonradial DEA models. According to the values of some new measures we define, the efficient units exhibiting a higher deal of influence will be classified for a further checking. Then the analyst will have to decide whether they are contaminated by data errors or not. The interest of these techniques lies in that they provide rules to detect influential observations which may avoid data checking, which is often costly (particularly with large samples).
