An assurance interval for non-Archimedean ε in imprecise data envelopment analysis(IDEA)
نویسنده
چکیده
Park (2010) [8] presented a method to obtain the upper bound on efficiency in imprecise data envelopment analysis (IDEA) in which the envelopment model with imprecise data had been used. In this paper, we consider the dual model, the multiplier model, which involves the non-Archimedean element ε . Then, we define a model to determine the upper bound of ε . An assurance interval for the non-Archimedean element ε is obtained in IDEA which is important when solving the model directly.

The overall assurance interval for the non-Archimedean Epsilon in DEA models; a partition base algorithm
Mehrabian, et. al. (1998) presented a procedure for determining overall assurance interval of ε . Solving n linear programs are needed for this propose, where n is the number of Decision Making Units involved in the evaluation. This paper proposes an efficient algorithm that can determine the overall assurance interval of ε by solving a few number of linear programs. KeywordsData Envelopment An...
متن کاملThe Uniqueness of the Overall Assurance Interval for Epsilon in DEA Models by the Direction Method
The role of non-Archimedean in the DEA models has been clarified, so that the associatedlinear programs can be infeasible (for the multiplier side) and unbounded (for theenvelopment side) with an unsuitable choice of . This paper shows that the overallassurance interval for in DEA models is unique by the concept of extreme directions. Also,it presents an assurance value for using only s...
متن کاملUsing Non-Archimedean DEA Models for Classification of DMUs: A New Algorithm
A new algorithm for classification of DMUs to efficient and inefficient units in data envelopment analysis is presented. This algorithm uses the non-Archimedean Charnes-Cooper-Rhodes[1] (CCR) model. Also, it applies an assurance value for the non-Archimedean using only simple computations on inputs and outputs of DMUs (see [18]). The convergence and efficiency of the ne...
متن کاملMeasuring the overall performances of decision-making units in the presence of imprecise data
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method for measuring the relative efficiencies of a set of decision-making units (DMUs) that use multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs. In this paper, we study the measurement of DMU performances in DEA in situations where input and/or output values are given as imprecise data. By imprecise data we mean situations where we only know that the actual val...
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 ...
