Transformation Models for Interval Scale Grouped Data with Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interval scale grouped data have peculiar structures of their own rights among various archetypes of polytomous data that deserve special statistical treatments. Maximum likelihood type approaches along with heteroscedastic and transformation models are adapted to take into account this kind of architecture with current state-of-art computation capabilities. Meanwhile, misclassification rates instead of sum of squared residuals are suggested for model fitting and selection in light of the data formation. Successful applications of these methods are demonstrated by a set of empirical data regarding the endotracheal tube size selection for small children in the emergency room of a hospital.

DEA Models with Interval Scale Inputs and Outputs
This paper proposes an alternative approach for efficiency analysis when a set of DMUs uses interval scale variables in the productive process. To test the influence of these variables, we present a general approach of deriving DEA models to deal with the variables. We investigate a number of performance measures with unrestricted-in-sign interval and/or interval scale variables.
متن کاملEfficiency Analysis Based on Separating Hyperplanes for Improving Discrimination among DMUs
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric method for evaluating the relative technical efficiency for each member of a set of peer decision making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. The original DEA models use positive input and output variables that are measured on a ratio scale, but these models do not apply to the variables in which interval scale data can appe...
متن کاملAn Extension of Enhanced Russell Measure to deal with Interval Scale Data in DEA
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models with interval inputs and outputs have been rarely discussed in DEA literature. This paper, using the enhanced Russell measurement proposes an extended model which permits the presence of interval scale variables which can take both negative and positive values. The model is compared with most well-known DEA models of which include the CCR model, the BCC mo...
متن کاملNon-Fourier heat conduction equation in a sphere; comparison of variational method and inverse Laplace transformation with exact solution
Small scale thermal devices, such as micro heater, have led researchers to consider more accurate models of heat in thermal systems. Moreover, biological applications of heat transfer such as simulation of temperature field in laser surgery is another pathway which urges us to re-examine thermal systems with modern ones. Non-Fourier heat transfer overcomes some shortcomings of Fourier heat tran...
متن کاملEstimating Most Productive Scale Size of the provinces of Iran in the Employment sector using Interval data in Imprecise Data Envelopment Analysis(IDEA)
Unemployment is one of the most important economic problems in Iran, so that many of its managers plan to increase employment rates. Increasing the employment rate needs to increase economic productivity which DEA is one of the most appropriate evaluation methods for estimating the productivity of similar organizations. Employment in the amount of data input and output can be just interval. In ...
