In data envelopment analysis (DEA), mul-tiplier and envelopment CCR models eval-uate the decision-making units (DMUs) under optimal conditions. Therefore, the best prices are allocated to the inputs and outputs. Thus, if a given DMU was not efficient under optimal conditions, it would not be considered efficient by any other models. In the current study, using common weights in DEA, a number of...

profitability as the most important factor in decision-making, has always been considered by stake­holders in the company's profitability. also can be a basis for evaluating the performance of the managers. the ability to predict the profitability can be very useful to help decision-makers. that's why one of the most important issues is the expected profitability. the importance of th...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) and balanced scorecard (BSC) are two well-known approaches for measuring performance of decision making units (DMUs). BSC is especially applied with quality measures, whereas, when the quantity measures are used to evaluate, DEA is more appropriate. In the real-world, DMUs usually have complex structures such as network structures. One of the well-known network s...

Traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) models deal with measurement of relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) in which multiple-inputs are consumed to produce multiple-outputs. One of the drawbacks of these models is neglecting internal processes of each system, which may have intermediate products and/or independent inputs and/or outputs. In this paper, some methods which are...

in the linear system ax = b the points x are sometimes constrained to lie in a given subspace s of column space of a. drazin inverse for any singular or nonsingular matrix, exist and is unique. in this paper, the singular consistent or inconsistent constrained linear systems are introduced and the effect of drazin inverse in solving such systems is investigated. constrained linear system arise ...

Chiou et al. (2010) (A joint measurement of efficiency and effectiveness for non-storable commodities: integrated data envelopment analysis approache s. European Journal of Operationa l Research 201, 477– 489) propose an integrated data envelopment analysis model in measuring decision making units (DMUs) that have a two-stage internal netwo rk structure with multiple inputs, outputs, and consum...

In the present time, evaluating the performance of banks is one of the important subjects for societies and the bank managers who want to expand the scope of their operation. One of the non-parametric approaches for evaluating efficiency is data envelopment analysis(DEA). By a mathematical programming model, DEA provides an estimation of efficiency surfaces. A major problem faced by DEA is that...

Efficiency in the mutual fund (MF), is one of the issues that has attracted many investors in countries with advanced financial market for many years. Due to the need for frequent study of MF’s efficiency in short-term periods, investors need a method that not only has high accuracy, but also high speed. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is proven to be one of the most widely used methods in the ...
