Srivastava and Maheshwari (Iranian Journal of Fuzzy Systems 13(1)(2016) 25-44) introduced a new divergence measure for intuitionisticfuzzy sets (IFSs). The properties of the proposed divergence measurewere studied and the efficiency of the proposed divergence measurein the context of medical diagnosis was also demonstrated. In thisnote, we point out some errors in ...

this paper is concerned with the estimation of frontier production function to measure the technical efficiency for iranian textile companies during 1995. the objective of this estimation is to investigate if there are any differences in the technical efficiency between the private and public firms as well as the relationship between technical efficiency and size of textile companies in iran. a...

Network data envelopment analysis models assess efficiency of decision-making unit and its sections using historical data but fail to measure efficiency of its units and their internal stages in the future. In this paper we aim to measure efficiency of stages of bank branches and obtain efficiency trend of stages during the time, then to estimate their efficiency in the future therefore we can ...

In this paper, we propose an efficiency/performance measure for dynamic networks, which have been modeled as evolutionary variational inequalities. Such applications include the Internet. The measure, which captures demands, flows, and costs/latencies over time, allows for the identification of the importance of the nodes and links and their rankings. We provide both continuous time and discret...

the current study aims to measure the efficiency of primary health care units completed in health sector of rural azad jammu and kashmir (ajk) and to compare it across developed and deprived regions.operational efficiency and beneficiary efficiency of a total of 32 basic health units (bhus) were measured through data envelopment analysis (dea) by using different input and output variables. inde...

there is little consensus on the corporate diversification-efficiency relationship in the diversification literature. according to the corporate diversification, firms have a tendency to get more market share with diversifying in the local segment or in the international market. theoretically, a contradictory exists between the profitable strategy and the value reducing strategy in the diversif...

One of the most important applications of data envelopment analysis tech-nique is measuring the efficiency of bank branches. Performance measure-ment in the banking industry is important for several groups, including bank managers, customers, investors, and shareholders. The purpose of this study is to examine and design a mixed structure to measure the efficiency of branches of Iranian banks a...
