a new type-ii fuzzy logic based controller for non-linear dynamical systems with application to 3-psp parallel robot
abstract type-ii fuzzy logic has shown its superiority over traditional fuzzy logic when dealing with uncertainty. type-ii fuzzy logic controllers are however newer and more promising approaches that have been recently applied to various fields due to their significant contribution especially when the noise (as an important instance of uncertainty) emerges. during the design of type- i fuz...
15 صفحه اولCost efficiency of Belgian local governments: A comparative analysis of FDH, DEA, and econometric approaches
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the efficiency of local governments in Belgium using a broad variety of non-parametric and parametric reference technologies. Specifically, we calculate indices of cost efficiency for five different reference technologies, two non-parametric ones (Free Disposal Hull (FDH) and variable returns to scale Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)) and three parametric ...
متن کاملCategorical Variables in Dea
If a DEA model has a mix of categorical and continuous variables a standard LP formulation can still be used by entering all combinations of categorical and continuous variables as different types of inputs and/or outputs. Most units will then not have positive levels of all variables. The implications for selection of peers are investigated. Peers can have the same or fewer types of inputs tha...
متن کاملStochastic DEA with a Perfect Object and Its Application to Analysis of Environmental Efficiency
The paper introduces stochastic DEA with a Perfect Object (SDEA PO). The Perfect Object (PO) is a virtual Decision Making Unit (DMU) that has the smallest inputs and greatest outputs. Including the PO in a collection of actual objects yields an explicit formula of the efficiency index. Given the distributions of DEA inputs and outputs, this formula allows us to derive the probability distributi...
متن کاملPredicting Local Returns with Macroeconomic Variables
Predictability of the return on the market portfolio is a well established fact. This study shows that predictability is a more general phenomenon and it extends to return indices of the U.S. states. At the state level, the consumption trend deviation of Lettau and Ludvigson, and the collateral ratio of Lustig and Van Nieuwerburgh can predict short-term and long-term state-level returns. The st...
