This study evaluated the productivity of non-profit hospitals in the USA in applying DEA-base Malmquist productivity Change index, decomposed into technical efficiency change index and technical progressive change index. Data used for this analysis consisted of 118 non-profit hospital utilization data and financial statements from 1993 through 2003. DEA-based Malmquist was conducted to measure ...

This paper analyses hospital performance using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the Malmquist productivity index. We follow two approaches to quantify movements in productivity: (1) the traditional approach that only considers output and input variables; and (2) a more comprehensive approach that incorporates movements in quality and restricts some achievements, if quality is reduced. On the...

Productivity growth and efficiency improvements are the major sources of economic development. Pure efficiency, scale efficiency, and technology are basic factors, and rules and regulations and balance are recently known factors affecting the Malmquist productivity index. The index is the most common productivity growth index that uses data envelopment analysis models over multiple time periods...

The performance of a supply chain can be evaluated in either a cross-sectional or a time series manner, and data envelopment analysis is a useful method for both types of evaluation. In this paper we develop an index and indicator of productivity change that can be used with radial and non-radial models for supply chain malmquist index. The supply chain malmquist productivity index (SCMPI) can ...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we give some necessary conditions for a complex‎ ‎difference equation of Malmquist type‎ $$‎sum^n_{j=1}f(z+c_j)=frac{P(f(z))}{Q(f(z))}‎,$$ ‎where $n(in{mathbb{N}})geq{2}$‎, ‎and $P(f(z))$ and $Q(f(z))$ are‎ ‎relatively prime polynomials in $f(z)$ with small functions as‎ ‎coefficients‎, ‎admitting a meromorphic function of finite order‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎the properties of finite o...

the performance of a decision making unit (dmu) can be evaluated in either across-sectional or a time-series manner, and data envelopment analysis (dea) is a useful method for both types of evaluation. the malmquist productivity index (mpi) evaluates the change in efficiency of a dmu between two time periods. it is defined as the product of the catch-up and frontier-shift terms. in this paper, ...

bankruptcy in the same amount of time and history is very rampant and therefore the vision of the future can be prevented. using data envelopment analysis (dea) and malmquist index can precise evaluating of the performances of many different kinds of decision making units (dmu) such as hospitals, universities, business firms, etc. in this paper, we will modify directional distance formulation o...

This paper presents a new adaptive algorithm for frequency-domain identification. The algorithm is related to the rational orthogonal system (Takenaka-Malmquist system). This work is based on an adaptive decomposition algorithm previously proposed for decomposing the Hardy space functions, in which a greedy sequence is obtained according to the maximal selection criterion. We modify the algorit...
