Mock-up simulation is a design or human factor research method to help designers identify key issues and factors of product environment. This paper discusses physical mock-up (PMU) digital (DMU) applications in healthcare building development through narrative literature review. The following questions are addressed this paper: what would the purposes using PMU DMU simulations be? At which phas...

One of the issues in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is sensitivity and stability region of the speci c decision making unit (DMU), included ecient and inecient DMUs. In sensitivity analysis of ecient DMUs,the largest region should be found namely stability region thatdata variations are only for ecient DMU under evaluation and the data for the remainingDMUs are assumed xed. Also ecient DMU u...

in data envelopment analysis, the relative efficiency of a decision making unit (dmu) is defined as the ratio of the sum of its weighted outputs to the sum of its weighted inputs allowing the dmus to freely allocate weights to their inputs/outputs. however, this measure may not reflect a the true efficiency of a dmu because some of its inputs/outputs may not contribute reasonably in computing t...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is widely used as a benchmarking tool for improving productive performance of decision making units (DMUs). The benchmarks produced by DEA are obtained as a sideproduct of computing efficiency scores. As a result, the benchmark units may differ from the evaluated DMU in terms of their input–output profiles and the scale size. Moreover, the DEA benchmarks may oper...

Data Envelopment Analysis models have proven ability to classify decision making units into two efficient and inefficient sets. Although ones can be sorted by the value of efficiency score, ranking has always been a challenging subject in DEA. Various methods, terms implementation nature, proposed rank DMUs. A novel method based on diversity variety frontier is presented this study. Firstly, cr...

This paper explores the decision-making process of international non-EU postgraduates when choosing a qualification from UK business school and proposes new model which reflects iterative, cyclical continuous nature process. The degree rigour rationality employed in was often limited influenced by culture composition unit (DMU). A Decision Maker Typology is proposed will support segmentation st...

Currently more and more agents are involved in human routine activities and a mixed human-agent society is thus formed by the humans and the agents involved. The relationship between humans and agents in this mixed society is subtle and it is vital to explore the influence that agents bring into the society. In this paper, we try to investigate a few questions: will humans act differently towar...

Let X1,X2, . . . , be independent random variables with EXi = 0 and write Sn = ∑ n i=1 Xi and V 2 n = ∑ n i=1 X i . This paper provides an overview of current developments on the functional central limit theorems (invariance principles), absolute and relative errors in the central limit theorems, moderate and large deviation theorems and saddle-point approximations for the self-normalized sum S...
