A characteristic of data envelopment analysis (DEA) is to allow individual decision making units (DMUs) to select the factor weights that are the most advantages for them in calculating their efficiency scores. This flexibility in selecting the weights, on the other hand, deters the comparison among DMUs on a common base. For dealing with this difficulty and assessing all the DMUs on the same s...

motion analysis and quality assessment of human sperm cell is of great importance for clinical applications of male infertility. sperm tracking is quite complex due to cell collision, occlusion and missed detection. the goal of this study is simultaneous tracking of multiple human sperm cells. in the first step in this research the frame difference algorithm is used for background subtraction. ...

Let a polyhedral convex set be given by a finite number of linear inequalities and consider the problem to project this set onto a subspace. This problem, called polyhedral projection problem, is shown to be equivalent to multiple objective linear programming. The number of objectives of the multiple objective linear program is by one higher than the dimension of the projected polyhedron. The r...

This paper presents a novel approach to achieving the goals of data envelopment analysis in the process of reconstruction and integration of decision-making units by using multiple objective linear programming. In this regard, first, we review inverse data envelopment analysis models for data reconstruction and integration. We present a model with multi-objective linear programming structure in...

quality function development (qfd) is a planning tools used to fulfill customer expectation and qfd is a systematic process to translating customer requirement (whats) into technical description (hows). qfd aims to maximize customer satisfactions related to enterprise satisfaction. the inherent fuzziness of relationships in qfd modeling justifies the use of fuzzy regression for estimating the r...
