Two stages DEA models are used in many fields of management and industry. One of the concepts that has attracted the attention of researchers in the theory of production is the concept of ranking the units with a two-stage network. A unit ranking can provide useful information to decision makers (DMUs) about optimal decision making activities. This concept defines the superiority of a unit in t...

A characteristic of data envelopment analysis (DEA) is to allow individual decision making units (DMUs) to select the most advantageous weights in calculating their efficiency scores. This flexibility, on the other hand, deters the comparison among DMUs on a common base. For dealing with this difficulty and assessing all the DMUs on the same scale, this paper proposes using a multiple objective...

Football is one of the most popular and exciting sports fields throughout the world. Today, in addition to the result, the number of goals and points, attraction and quality of the played matches are important for club management staff, coaching staff, the players and especially the fans. Beside number of goals, there are different criteria such as successful passes, attacks, defenses, tackles ...

‎‎In the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) the efficiency of the units‎ ‎can be obtained by identifying the degree of the importance of the‎ ‎criteria (inputs-outputs).In DEA basic models‎, ‎challenges are zero‎ ‎and unequal weights of the criteria when decision‎- ‎making units are‎ ‎evaluated‎. ‎One of the strategies applied to deal with these problems‎ ‎is using common weights of the each input...

abstract. a practical common weight scalarizing function methodology with an improved discriminating power for technology selection is introduced. the proposed scalarizing function methodology enables the evaluation of the relative efficiency of decision-making units (dmus) with respect to multiple outputs and a single exact input with common weights. its robustness and discriminating power are...

data envelopment analysis (dea) as a non-parametric method for efficiency measurement allows decision making units (dmus) to select the most advantageous weight factors in order to maximize their efficiency scores.  in most practical applications of dea presented in the literature, the presented models assume that all inputs are fully desirable. however, in many real situations undesirable inpu...
