Determining Common Weights in Data Envelopment Analysis with Shannon's Entropy

Finding a Common Set of Weights by the Fuzzy Entropy Compared with Data Envelopment Analysis - A Case Study

  A data envelopment analysis (DEA) method can be regarded as a useful management tool to evaluate decision making units (DMUs) using multiple inputs and outputs. In some cases, we face with imprecise inputs and outputs, such as fuzzy or interval data, so the efficiency of DMUs will not be exact. Most researchers have been interested in getting efficiency and ranking DMUs recently. Models of th...

Measuring congestion in data envelopment analysis with common weights

An algorithm for determining common weights by concept of membership function

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method to evaluate the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs). In this method, the issue has always been to determine a set of weights for each DMU which often caused many problems. Since the DEA models also have the multi-objective linear programming (MOLP) problems nature, a rational relationship can be established between MOLP and DEA problem...

Determining a common set of weights in DEA by solving a linear programming

In models of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), an optimal set of input and output weights is generally as-sumed to represent the assessed Decision Making Unit (DMU) in the best light in comparison to all the other DMUs. These sets of weights are, typically, different for each of the participating DMUs. Thus, it is important to find a Common Set of Weights (CSW) across the set of DMUs. In this pa...
