credit scoring is a kind of binary classification problem that contains important information for manager to make a decision in particularly in banking authorities. obtained scores provide a practical credit decision for a loan officer to classify clients to reject or accept for payment loan. for this sake, in this paper a data envelopment analysis- discriminant analysis (dea-da) approach is us...

background: nowadays, restriction on access and optimum use of resources is the main challenge of development in all organizations. therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the technical efficiency and its factors, influencing hospitals of tehran. methods: this research was a descriptive-analytical and retrospective study conducted in 2014-2015. fifty two hospitals with public, private...

banks are one of the most important financial sectors in order to the economic development of each country. certainly, efficiency scores and ranks of banks are significant and effective aspects towards future planning. sometimes the performance of banks must be measured in the presence of undesirable and vague factors. for these reasons in the current paper a procedure based on data envelopment...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a technique for measuring the efficiency of decision making units. in all models of the dea, for each unit under assessment, the numerical efficiency is obtained which may be less than or equal to one. given the possible large number of functional units, we use various ranking methods for evaluating units. one of the rating methods is balance index and topsis....

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a mathematical technique to evaluate the performance of firms with multiple inputs and outputs. in conventional dea models, the efficiency scores of decision making units (dmus) with non-negative inputs and outputs are evaluated in a special period of time. however, in the real world there are situations wherein performance of firms must be evaluated in multip...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a widely used technique for measuring the relative efficiencies of homogenous Decision Making Units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. These factors may be evaluated in fuzzy or stochastic environment. Hence, the classic structures of DEA model may be changed where in two fold fuzzy stochastic environment. For instances, linearity, feasibility a...

This paper presents aggregated cost efficiency scores for a balanced panel of British and Irish credit institutions and relates these scores to loan loss reserves as a first step in investigating their usefulness as possible indicators of financial fragility. The efficiency scores are obtained using the two most popular methods of efficiency measurement – data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the...

The field of productive efficiency analysis is currently divided between two main paradigms: the deterministic, nonparametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the parametric Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). This paper examines an encompassing semiparametric frontier model that combines the DEA-type nonparametric frontier, which satisfies monotonicity and concavity, with the SFA-style stoc...
