Test efficiency measures the cost-effectiveness of a test organisation and it is measured by dividing the number of defects found in a test by the effort needed to perform the test. This thesis project investigated whether the Mobile Positioning Centre (MPC) site at Ericsson AB could improve their test efficiency or not. The purpose of the project was to identify areas that could increase the t...

One of the effective methods for improving the efficiency of an organization is benchmarking against successful organizations. Not only benchmarking could be a technique for identifying problems but also it greatly helps managers in relations of the design of processes. Among strategic and infrastructure industries in each country, the electricity industry is one of the most important and criti...

Robust stereo and optical flow disparity matching is essential for computer vision applications with varying illumination conditions. Most robust disparity matching algorithms rely on computationally expensive normalized variants of the brightness constancy assumption to compute the matching criterion. In this paper, we reinvestigate the removal of global and large area illumination artifacts, ...

Data envelopment analysis is a method for evaluating the relative efficiency of a collection of decision making units. The DEA classic models calculate each unit’s efficiency in the best condition, meaning that finds a weight that the DMU is at its maximum efficiency. In this paper, utilizing the directional distance function model in the presence of undesirable outputs, the efficiency of each ...

in the research we try to introduce “network matrix” in selecting optimizing portfolio for active management in investment companies, to evaluating obtained portfolio of this, with this aim that have high efficiency in relation to market portfolio efficiency. first matrix (portfolio) is value-growth stocks that are classified by standards p/e and p/b and second matrix (portfolio) are an aggress...

Measuring and improving the efficiency of organizations, as one of the most important parts of the organization's performance evaluation and a tool to control it, is a contemplative issue in order to survive and advance in the area of competition. Transportation is also a key element in the growth and development of countries that creates an unbreakable link among the various sections of the ec...

the wisdom of crowds, an innovative theory described in social science, claims that the aggregate decisions made by a group will often be better than those of its individual members if the four fundamental criteria of this theory are satisfied. this theory used for in clustering problems. previous researches showed that this theory can significantly increase the stability and performance of lea...

The efficiency parameters are studied in this paper for evaluating the compression quality of inlets with different degrees and assessing design methods. Self-consistency is proposed parameters, based on two mathematically derived entropy rise coefficient efficiency. Two then examined equal intensity shocks system to show their capabilities characterizing degrees, representing average entire in...
