The infeasibility problem in traditional super efficiency models has been well established. A generalization of traditional inputor output-oriented super efficiency models, the directional distance function also suffers from infeasibility and related problems. The hyperbolic-oriented efficiency measure provides an alternative to the input-oriented, output-oriented, and directional efficiency me...

This paper develops a new radial super-efficiency data envelopment analysis (DEA) model, which allows input-output variables to take both negative and positive values. Compared with existing DEA models capable of dealing with negative data, the proposed model can rank the efficient DMUs and is feasible no matter whether the input-output data are nonnegative or not. It successfully addresses the...

Abstract—There exists some time lag between the consumption of inputs and the production of outputs. This time lag effect should be considered in calculating efficiency of decision making units (DMU). Recently, a couple of DEA models were developed for considering time lag effect in efficiency evaluation of research activities. However, these models can’t discriminate efficient DMUs because of ...

In a recent paper by Vencheh and Esmaeilzadeh, a super-efficiency model based on RDM model is formulated where some input and output data are negative. However, we show that the formulation in the paper is not always feasible or bounded for its purpose and cannot produce the numerical results claimed. Moreover, we demonstrate that the super-efficiency model based on RDM model is unable to provi...

In this paper, the efficiency of the performance of some independent units of police organization was evaluated to optimize the total used inputs and the total produced outputs of each unit. For this purpose, with regard to the efficiency and inefficiency of each unit, based on the location of the units to one another, and also due to the limitations on number and the way of transferring the fo...

There are a number of methods for ranking decision making units (DMUs), among which calculating super efficiency and then ranking the units based on the obtained amount of super efficiency are both valid and efficient. Since most of the proposed models do not provide the projection of Pareto efficiency, a model is developed and presented through this paper based on which in the projection of Pa...

performance evaluation of universities is an important issue between researchers. classic data envelopment analysis (dea) models with deterministic data have been used by many authors to measure efficiency of universities in different countries. however, dea with stochastic data are, rarely used to measure efficiency of universities. in this paper, input oriented model in stochastic data envelo...

In this paper, we conduct simulation experiments to evaluate the performance of two alternative uses of the superefficiency procedure in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The first is for outlier identification and the second is for ranking efficient units. We find that the ranking procedure does not perform satisfactorily. In fact, the correlations between the true efficiency and the estimated ...

The paper deals with models and methods for evaluation of efficiency of production units. The standard modeling approach for evaluation of efficiency is data envelopment analysis (DEA) based on the definition of efficiency as the ratio of outputs produced by the unit and inputs spent in the production process. Standard data envelopment analysis models divide the units into inefficient and effic...
