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 ...

The existing data envelopment analysis (DEA) models for measuring the relative efficiencies of a set of decision making units (DMUs) using various inputs to produce various outputs are limited to crisp data. The notion of fuzziness has been introduced to deal with imprecise data. Fuzzy DEA models are made more powerful for applications. This paper develops the measure of efficiencies in input o...

The Cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA) is developed for solving single-objective problems and it cannot be used for solving multi-objective problems. So the multi-objective cuckoo optimization algorithm based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) is developed in this paper and it can gain the efficient Pareto frontiers. This algorithm is presented by the CCR model of DEA and the output-oriented a...

The purpose of this paper is to develop an output oriented methodology for calculating productivity growth by using Malmquist productivity index (MPI) and two different data envelopment analysis (DEA) views (optimistic and pessimistic) simultaneously, and apply it to five Iranian Commercial Banks over the four time period (2009-2013). Consequently, we have proposed a new approach called the dou...

  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 solvin...

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...

Efficiency aggregation and efficiency decomposition are two techniques used in modeling decision making units (DMUs) with two-stage network structures under network data envelopment analysis (DEA). Multiplicative efficiency decomposition (MED) is usually used in a very specialized two-stage structure when constant returns to scale (CRS) is assumed. MED-based network DEA retains the property of ...

Abstract: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming method for the assessment of relative efficiency of a set of Decision Making Units (DMUs) that use several inputs to produce several outputs. It measures the efficiency of each Decision Making Unit (DMU) by maximizing the ratio of virtual output to virtual input with the constraint that the ratio does not exceed one for eac...

We propose alternative regression models to assess the effects of covariates in output oriented DEA scores. We use probability choice models combined with specifications related to the gamma and to the truncated normal families of distributions. These specifications imply different two stage regression models and alternative quasi maximum likelihood estimators. We apply these methods to assess ...
