Data envelopment analysis technique which is developed based on the mathematical programming, evaluates the relative efficiency of a set of homogeneous decision making units. This paper shows the method of Discriminant Analysis (DA), on Imprecise Data by Data Envelopment 724 F. Hosseinzadeh Lotfi et al Analysis (DEA). DEA-Discriminant Analysis (DEA-DA) is designed to identify the existence or n...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) measures relative efficiency among the decision making units (DMU) without considering noise in data. The least efficient DMU indicates that it is in the worst situation. In this paper, we measure efficiency of individual DMU whenever it losses the maximum output, and the efficiency of other DMUs is measured in the observed situation. This efficiency is the minim...

The aim of this paper is to estimate the overall performance of mutual funds in Croatia in terms of their relative efficiency based on several performance indicators using data envelopment analysis (DEA). DEA is a non-parametric method that can provide an overall relative efficiency score of a certain fund given a number of risk, cost or reward or profitability measures. Since traditional mutua...

This study proposes the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) ranking for resource allocation between Iran's Medical Universities based on a five years observation data (2004-2008). We compared the DEA ranking results with the traditional ranking approach applied by the Ministry of Health and Medical Education of Iran. Based on the DEA score the amount of budget is proposed for each university for th...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) , a new methodology based on linear programming concepts, provides an approach to evaluate relative technical efficiency of nonprofit organizations 1) which have multiple outputs and inputs and 2) where the efficient production function is not specifiable with precision. This paper evaluates the reliability of DEA, compared with use of ratio analysis and basic re...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA), based on mathematical programming techniques, is a popular method for assessing the relative efficiency of various decision-making units (DMUs). Efficient DEA computations need to circumvent intensive time-consuming calculations. This paper indicates that the “corner points” in single input and single output scatter plot has extreme efficiency with regard to the...

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....

super eciency data envelopment analysis(dea) model can be used in ranking the performanceof ecient decision making units(dmus). in dea, non-extreme ecient unitshave a super eciency score one and the existing super eciency dea models do notprovide a complete ranking about these units. in this paper, we will propose a methodfor ranking the performance of the extreme and non-extreme ecient u...

this paper investigates a procedure for identifying all efficient hyperplanes of production possibility set (pps). this procedure is based on a method which recommended by pekka j. korhonen[8]. he offered using of lexicographic parametric programming method for recognizing all efficient units in data envelopment analysis (dea). in this paper we can find efficient hyperplanes, via using the para...
