Data envelopment analysis with missing values: an approach using neural network
نویسندگان
چکیده
The data envelopment analysis (DEA) models developed with the assumption that input and output data from all of the decision making units (DMUs) to be evaluated are available. So, the need to apply an appropriate approach so that it handles cases includes DMUs whose some data are missing, has been an important issue. In this paper, we consider the case of missing values in one component of the output vector of a certain unit. We first apply a DEA-base clustering method to know the cluster that this unit belongs to and then predicted the missing value by training the neural network algorithm with this cluster. Finally, we also apply EM algorithm and Monte Carlo simulation to compare obtained results by an illustrative example.

A neuro-data envelopment analysis approach for optimization of uncorrelated multiple response problems with smaller the better type controllable factors
In this paper, a new method is proposed to optimize a multi-response optimization problem based on the Taguchi method for the processes where controllable factors are the smaller-the-better (STB)-type variables and the analyzer desires to find an optimal solution with smaller amount of controllable factors. In such processes, the overall output quality of the product should be maximized while t...

متن کاملDEA with Missing Data: An Interval Data Assignment Approach
In the classical data envelopment analysis (DEA) models, inputs and outputs are assumed as known variables, and these models cannot deal with unknown amounts of variables directly. In recent years, there are few researches on handling missing data. This paper suggests a new interval based approach to apply missing data, which is the modified version of Kousmanen (2009) approach. First, the prop...
