In this study, the window network data envelopment analysis (WNDEA) model will be proposed, that is capable to be used in the presence of panel data. Additionally, the proposed model is applied to evaluate the dynamic efficiency of 5 investment companies in Tehran stock exchange during the period from 2013 to 2017.

state estimation is the foundation of any control and decision making in power networks. the first requirement for a secure network is a precise and safe state estimator in order to make decisions based on accurate knowledge of the network status. this paper introduces a new estimator which is able to detect bad data with few calculations without need for repetitions and estimation residual cal...

For any agency dealing with the design of the water distribution network, an economic design will be an objective. In this research, Central Force Optimization (CFO) and Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm were used to optimize Ismail Abad water Distribution network. Optimization of the network has been evaluated by developing an optimization model based on CFO and DE algorithm in MATLAB and ...

quantitative prediction of municipal solid waste generation has an important role in the optimization and programming of municipal solid waste management system. but, this concept was companied with many problems, because of the non homogenous nature and the effect of various factors out of the control on solid waste generation. in this study, the combination of artificial neural network and wa...

  In this article, Non radial method of dynamic DEA with the parallel network structure is presented and is used for calculation of relative efficiency measures when inputs and outputs do not change equally. In this model, DMU divisions under evaluation have been put together in parallel. But its dynamic structure is assumed in series. Since in real applications there are undesirable inputs an...

Modelling and forecasting Stock market is a challenging task for economists and engineers since it has a dynamic structure and nonlinear characteristic. This nonlinearity affects the efficiency of the price characteristics. Using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is a proper way to model this nonlinearity and it has been used successfully in one-step-ahead and multi-step-ahead prediction of di...
