In the conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA), it is assumed that all decision making units (DMUs) using the same input and output measures, means that DMUs are homogeneous. In some settings, however, this usual assumption of DEA might be violated. A related problem is the problem of textit{missing} textit{data} where a DMU produces a certain output or consumes a certain input but the val...

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...

We present a system identification method for problems with partially missing inputs and outputs. The method is based on a subspace formulation and uses the nuclear norm heuristic for structured low-rank matrix approximation, with the missing input and output values as the optimization variables. We also present a fast implementation of the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) to ...

Traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) models evaluate two-stage decision making unit (DMU) as a black box and neglect the connectivity may exist among the stages. This paper looks inside the system by considering the intermediate activities between the stages where the first stage uses inputs to produce outputs which are the inputs to the second stage along with its own inputs. Additional...
