data envelopment analysis (dea) is a mathematical technique to evaluate the performance of firms with multiple inputs and outputs. in conventional dea models, the efficiency scores of decision making units (dmus) with non-negative inputs and outputs are evaluated in a special period of time. however, in the real world there are situations wherein performance of firms must be evaluated in multip...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a technique for measuring the efficiency of decision making units. in all models of the dea, for each unit under assessment, the numerical efficiency is obtained which may be less than or equal to one. given the possible large number of functional units, we use various ranking methods for evaluating units. one of the rating methods is balance index and topsis....

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a nonstochastic and nonparametric linear programming technique where a set of units are evaluated according to their input consumption and output production (Charnes et al. (1978)). Given that DEA efficiency analysis can be influenced by the presence of outliers, Banker and Chang (2006) proposed a method to detect atypical units through the super-efficiency mo...

In this paper, we analyse economic development and growth through traditional measures (gross domestic product and human development index) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in Colombian departments over the period 1993e2007. We use a DEA model to measure and rank economic development and growth from different approaches such as poverty, equality and security. The results show considerable va...

the cross efficiency evaluation is used to performance measurement of decision making units in data envelopment analysis concept. one of the most important shortcoming of this method is existing alternative optimal solution and therefore, the efficiency scores are not unique. we are going to summarize the pervious models proposed by researchers and suggest an alternative secondary goal approach...

data envelopment analysis (dea) has been long employed as a popular methodology to evaluate the performance of various production activities with multiple inputs and outputs. however, an important issue is that the production process in the real world inevitably generates undesirable outputs (like wastes and pollutants) along with desirable outputs. therefore, the undesirable outputs should be ...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a method used for measuring the efficiency of decision-making units‎. unlike the standard models‎, ‎which assume decision-making units to be a black box‎, ‎network data envelopment analysis focuses on the internal structure of these units‎. ‎some researchers have developed a two-stage method where all the inputs are entirely used in the first stage‎, ‎producin...
