the stock evaluation process plays an important role in portfolio selection because it is the prerequisite for investment and directly influences on the stock allocation. this paper presents a methodology based on data envelopment analysis for portfolio selection, decision making units which can be stocks or other financial assets. first, dmus efficiencies are computed based on input/output com...

In this paper, by investigating the common weights concept and DEA models with nonlinear virtual inputs/outputs, we introduce a model for evaluating the decision making units with nonlinear virtual inputs and outputs based on the common weights.

in this paper, a new revenue efficiency data envelopment analysis (re-dea) approach is considered for finding the most revenue efficient unit with price uncertainty in both optimistic and pessimistic perspectives. the optimistic and pessimistic perspectives use efficient frontier and inefficient frontier, respectively. an integrated model is introduced to find decision making units (dmus) that ...

data envelopment analysis operates as a tool for appraising the relative efficiency of a set of homogenous decision making units. this methodology is applied widely in different contexts. regarding to its logic, dea allows each dmu to take its optimal weight in comparison with other dmus while a similar condition is considered for other units. this feature is a bilabial characteristic which opt...

Sound exposure effects have been investigated by broadcasting a group of broilers with sound of Quran verses (Group B) whereas the other group is the control broilers (Group C). The growth rate comparisons in terms of weight and raw meat texture measured by shear force have been investigated. Twenty-seven broilers were randomly selected from each group on Day 24 and weight measurement was carri...
