Olympic ranking based on a zero sum gains DEA model
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is usual to rank the participating countries in the Olympic Games in accordance with the number of medals they have won. An alternative ranking is suggested in this paper. This ranking is based on each country’s ability to win medals in relation to its available resources. This is an efficiency that can be measured with the help of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for which two models exist: the traditional DEA model, that takes into account variable returns to scale, and a DEA model based on the premise that the sum of the gains is zero (constant sum of outputs). It is the latter that is developed in this paper.

For many decision problems with uncertainty, triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number is a useful tool in expressing ill-known quantities. This paper develops a novel decision method based on zero-sum game for multiple attribute decision making problems where the attribute values take the form of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and the attribute weights are unknown. First, a new value ind...
متن کاملNew model for ranking DMUs in DDEA as a special case
The purpose of this paper is to offer the equitable method for ranking Decision Making Units(DMUs) based on the Dynamic Data Envelopment Analysis (DDEA) concept, where quasi-fixed inputs or intermediate products are the source of inter-temporal dependence between consecutive periods. In fact, this paper originally makes the use of an approach extending the ranking of DMUs in DEA by Khodabakhsh...
متن کاملModelling undesirable outputs with zero sum gains data envelopment analysis models
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) literature has proposed alternative models for performance assessment in the presence of undesirable outputs, such as pollutant emissions, where increased outputs imply reduced performance. However, the case where global equilibrium of outputs should be imposed has not yet been considered. We propose that the zero sum gains DEA (ZSG-DEA) models look especially su...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) calculates the relative efficiency of homogenous decision-making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and outputs. Classic DEA models usually suffer from several issues such as: discrimination power, variable weights of inputs/outputs, inaccurate efficiency estimation for small number of DMUs, incapability in working with zero and negative data, and not having exter...
