Finding the Piecewise Linear Frontier Production Function in DEA with Interval Data

چکیده
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming technique for identifying efficiency scores of decision making units (DMUs). Since DEA models cannot present efficient frontiers of PPS, in order to do this, we introduce a method for identifying efficient frontier for DMUs with interval data.

In this study, using a neural network algorithm DEA and DEA-R is suggested to classify the first companies in the stock exchange; Secondly, using the...
متن کاملQuadratic Data Envelopment Analysis
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) provides means for piecewise linear approximation of production functions. To improve the fit to the data we propose to improve the flexibility of the frontier by extending DEA towards a more general piecewise quadratic approximation, called Quadratic Data Envelopment Analysis (QDEA). In contrast to the linear approximation, the quadratic approximation allows for...
متن کاملA Note On Dual Models Of Interval DEA and Its Extension To Interval Data
In this article, we investigate the measurement of performance in DMUs in which input and/or output values are given as imprecise data. By imprecise data, we mean that in some cases, we only know that the actual values are inside certain intervals, and in other cases, data are specified only as ordinal preference information. In this article, we present two distinct perspectives for determining...
متن کاملMinimizing the Weights dispersion in Cross-Efficiency Measurement in data envelopment analysis
Because of the piecewise linear nature of the data envelopment analysis (DEA) frontier, the optimal multipliers of the DEA models may not be unique. Choosing weights from alternative optimal solutions of dual multiplier models is one of the most frequently studied subjects in the context of DEA. In this paper, the authors have been inspired by the idea of Cooper et al. (2011) to propose a li...
متن کاملDEA with Missing Data: An Interval Data Assignment Approach
In the classical data envelopment analysis (DEA) models, inputs and outputs are assumed as known variables, and these models cannot deal with unknown amounts of variables directly. In recent years, there are few researches on handling missing data. This paper suggests a new interval based approach to apply missing data, which is the modified version of Kousmanen (2009) approach. First, the prop...
