Abstract: Highlights•A super efficiency SBM model is used to construct the relative effective frontier.•Machine learning algorithms are used to construct regression model and establish the absolute effective frontier.•Compared with the traditional data envelopment analysis method, the absolute effective frontier displays better evaluation.•Compared with the data envelopment analysis and neural network fusion done in the previous literature, the absolute effective frontier can better overcome data envelopment analysis's own problems.
