Data Envelopment Analysis with Functional Data using Preference Method

Portfolio Selection using Data Envelopment Analysis with common weights

The stock evaluation process plays an important role in portfolio selection because it is the prerequisite for investment and directly influences on the stock allocation. This paper presents a methodology based on Data Envelopment Analysis for portfolio selection, decision making units which can be stocks or other financial assets. First, DMUs efficiencies are computed based on input/output com...

Capacity utilization in data envelopment analysis with integer data

In the process of production, some of the inputs are fixed and cannot easily be changed, such as work hours of workers and hours of administrative or work, these types of inputs are fixed and others are variables. In this paper, by considering some inputs or outputs which are limited, their amounts must be integrated; this concept for integer data is extended. We show the importance of subject ...

Efficient location by using data envelopment analysis

So far, many types of location models have been developed to find optimal spatial patterns according to different spatial metrics such as cost, coverage and availability.  The initial focus of these models is on the location availability of service providers and demand estimates, and some of these models are within the framework of multi-objective programming models.  After the advent of scienc...

Estimating Most Productive Scale Size with Double Frontiers in Data Envelopment Analysis using Negative Data

In this paper, it is assumed that the “Decision Making Units“( ) are consist of positive and negative input and output. Firstly, the optimistic and pessimistic models have been suggested by using negative data and then units with most productive scale size are measured in optimistic and pessimistic models. These productive values are compared with double frontiers and Hurwicz’s Criterion to obt...
