Our motivation is to detail a potential improvement on the three-stage analysis published by Fried et al. [Accounting for environmental effects and statistical noise in data envelopment analysis. Journal of Productivity Analysis 2002;17:157–74] that can distinguish true performers from those that may be advantaged by favourable environments or measurement errors. The method starts with data env...

Abstract In the framework of data envelopment analysis (DEA), Tone (Eur J Oper Res 130(3):498–509, 2001) introduced slacks-based measure (SBM) efficiency, which is a nonradial model that incorporates all slacks evaluated decision-making units (DMUs) into their efficiency scores, unlike classical radial models. Next, 143(1):32–41, 2002) developed SBM super-efficiency in order to differentiate an...

With the development of machine learning algorithm and fuzzy theory, clustering based on time series has received more attention. Based theory considering correlation data attributes, it proposes a novel multivariate method Slacks Measure (MFTS-SBM). Compared with traditional that ability to deal fuzziness uncertainty, proposed hybrid SBM employs input output items considers results influencing...

Because port operations have rapidly been extending, air pollution resulted from ports has increased and become a persistent concern for environmentalist policy makers. The objective of this paper is to measure the environmental efficiency in Korea. main characteristic assessment problem that undesirable output carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions exogenous fixed input terminal area should concurrent...

In banking system the evaluation of productivity and performance is key factor among fundamental concepts in management. For identify potential a bank efficiency parameter to evaluate effective system. To measure selection appropriate input-output variables one most vital issues. The suitable identification helps create model order analysis. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) mathematical approach...

This study measures the efficiency of health care resource allocation in each region China using global undesirable output from Data Envelopment Analysis - Slacks Based Measure (DEA-SBM) model, on basis which concept economic convergence is introduced to analyze as a whole and region. The found that although overall relatively weakly effective, trend U-shaped, since 2015, has shown an upward mo...

in this survay the total productivity of export development bank of iran (edbi) and the productivity changes of branches was studied by using the method of data envelopment analysis. slacks-based measure of super-efficiency model was used to analyze the total productivity of the edbi in the period of 1373-1384 and malmquist productivity index was used to measure the growth of productivity in br...

Electrical power distribution is the most important division in supply chain. However, its sustainability terms of efficiency very for growth every country. This main objective paper to assess productivity dynamics this process using data envelopment analysis (DEA) methodology analyse effectiveness electricity regions (EDRs) over a period 7 years. The adapts biennial Malmquist index by infusing...
