this paper introduces discretionary imprecise data in data envelopment analysis (dea) and discusses the efficiency evaluation of decision making units (dmus) with non-discretionary imprecise data. then, suggests a method for evaluation the efficiency of dmus with non-discretionary imprecise data. when some inputs and outputs are imprecise and non-discretionary, the dea model becomes non-linear ...

Financial efficiency evaluations in a network system, considering intermediate products, nowadays consideres great importance for managers. In the process of doing business analysis, each stage of in a network is of particular importance. In this paper, with the help of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), the performance of a network with feedbacks are considerd. In this assessment, financia...

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 method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (dmus) with multiple inputs and outputs. the traditional dea treats decision making units under evaluation as black boxes and calculates their efficiencies with first inputs and last outputs. this carries the notion of missing some intermediate measures in the process of changing the inputs to...

the need for monitoring the overall performance of countries in sustainable development (sd) is widely recognized, but scant attention has been devoted to methods for aggregating and analyzing vast amounts of empirical data. this paper describes the development and application of a data envelopment analysis (dea) methodology for addressing the challenges of benchmarking sustainable development....

the method for measuring the congestion of noura et al. [a.a. noura, f. ‎hosseinzadeh lotfi, g.r. jahanshahloo, s. ‎fanati rashidi, r.p. barnett, a new method for measuring congestion in data envelopment analysis, socio-economic planning sciences, 44 (2010) 240-246] ,there is no problem for congestion detection in the case of one input and one output but in higher space is not able to detect co...

in this paper, non parametric data envelopment analysis (dea) was subjected to the energy data of wheat producers in punjab state, india, and technical, pure technical and scale efficiencies were calculated for farms both category wise and zone wise. the main objective was to determine the strength of the correlation between non-parametric efficiencies and indices such as energy ratio and speci...
