in this paper, different input-oriented ratio-based dea (dea-r-i) models are proposed. by presenting the envelopment-additive-enhanced russell model based on the dea-r-i form, each decision making unit is evaluated and its efficiency score is calculated. also, by presenting the central resource allocation model based on the dea-r-i form, a suitable benchmark for all dmus is proposed by solving ...

This research further develops the combined use of principal component analysis (PCA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA). The aim is to reduce the curse of dimensionality that occurs in DEA when there is an excessive number of inputs and outputs in relation to the number of decision-making units. Three separate PCA–DEA formulations are developed in the paper utilising the results of PCA to dev...

The data envelopment analysis (DEA) is an optimization based technique that has been proposed by Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes (1978) to measure the relative efficiency of public sector activities and no profit organizations, such as for example educational institutions and health services. The DEA efficiency measure is computed by solving a fractional linear programming model that can be converte...

Utilizing recent developments in data envelopment analysis (DEA), this paper examines the performance of the top 55 U.S. commercial banks via a two-stage production process that separates profitability and marketability. Substantial performance inefficiency is uncovered in both dimensions. Relatively large banks exhibit better performance on profitability, whereas smaller banks tend to perform ...

MCDA in general and multiple objective linear programming (MOLP) in particular can be used for planning future performances. The model structures of DEA and MOLP have much in common and research on integrating DEA and MOLP has attracted increasing attentions to support both past performance assessment and future target setting in integrated manners (Cooper, 2004). For instance, Golany (1988) de...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a widely used mathematical programming approach for comparing the input and output of a set of comparable decision-making units (DMUs) by evaluating their relative efficiency. The traditional DEA methods require accurate measurement of both the inputs and outputs. However, the real evaluation of the DMUs is often characterized by imprecision and uncertainty in...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a widely recognized approach for evaluating the efficiencies of decision making units (dmus). because of easy and successful application and case studies, dea has gained much attention and widespread use by business and academy researchers. the conventional dea models (e.g. bcc and ccr) make an assumption that input and output data are exact values on a ratio ...

The purpose of conventional Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is to evaluate the performance of a set of firms or Decision-Making Units using deterministic input and output data. However, the input and output data in the real-life performance evaluation problems are often stochastic. The stochastic input and output data in DEA can be represented with random variables. Several methods have been pr...

The previously-published physiologically based pharmacokinetic model for atrazine (ATZ), deisopropylatrazine (DIA), deethylatrazine (DEA), and diaminochlorotriazine (DACT), which collectively comprise the total chlorotriazines (TCT) as represented in this study, was modified to allow for scaling to humans. Changes included replacing the fixed dose-dependent oral uptake rates with a method that ...
