An Improvement for Efficiency Interval: Efficient and Inefficient Frontiers
The performances of decision-making units (DMUs) can be evaluated from two different points of view optimistic and pessimistic and accordingly, two different efficiencies can be calculated for each DMU: the best relative efficiency and the worst relative efficiency. In the conventional methods of data envelopment analysis (DEA), only the best relative efficiency is evaluated. It is argued h...
متن کاملLinearly Constrained Nonsmooth and Nonconvex Minimization
Motivated by variational models in continuum mechanics, we introduce a novel algorithm for performing nonsmooth and nonconvex minimizations with linear constraints. We show how this algorithm is actually a natural generalization of well-known non-stationary augmented Lagrangian methods for convex optimization. The relevant features of this approach are its applicability to a large variety of no...
متن کاملConditional Fdh Efficiency to Assess Performance Factors for Brazilian Agriculture
In this article we assess the effect of market imperfections and income inequality on rural production efficiency. The analysis is carried out using the notion of stochastic conditional efficiency computed in terms of free disposal hull (FDH) efficiency measurements. Free disposal hull and conditional FDH are output oriented with variable returns to scale. They are evaluated for rural productio...
متن کاملImpact of bucketing on performance of linearly interpolated language models
N -gram models are used to model language in various applications. For large vocabularies, even a very large corpus is insu cient to estimate a raw ratioof-counts trigram model. One common way to overcome this problem is by linear interpolation of the trigram model with lower order models. The interpolation weights can be varied as a function of the current history, to re ect the con dence we h...
متن کاملLinearly Interpolated Hierarchical N-gram Language Models for Speech Recognition Engines
Language modeling is a crucial component in natural language continuous speech recognition, due to the difficulty involved by continuous speech [1], [2]. Language modeling attempts to capture regularities in natural language for the purpose of improving the recognition performance. Many studies have shown that the word error rate of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems decreases significa...
