abstract

data envelope analysis (dea) is an approach to estimate the relative efficiency of decision making units (dmus). several studies were conducted in order to prioritize efficient units and some useful models such as cross-efficiency matrix (cem) were presented.  besides, a number of dea models with interval data have been developed and ranking dmus with such data was solved. however, presenting an obtained crisp data derived interval data is a critical problem, so that many researches were implemented so as to compute weights and averaging the interval data. in this paper we propose the new algorithm to find more suitable weight applying a data mining approach of dmu’s data. for this purpose, we employed clustering and pair-wise comparison matrix on given relative efficiency from cem. results indicate there is meaningful different between efficiency of dmus with lower bound and that of dmus with upper bound.

Ranking of DMUs by using TOPSIS and different ranking models in DEA

As regards of the necessity of ranking efficient units different Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models are introduced. Each of the existing models has advantages and deals with ranking efficient units from special aspects. But, there exist no model has all these benefits in a unified manner. The aim of this paper is to present a new ranking method which can incorporate, to a great extent, adva...

Efficiency Evaluation and Ranking DMUs in the Presence of Interval Data with Stochastic Bounds

On account of the existence of uncertainty, DEA occasionally faces the situation of imprecise data, especially when a set of DMUs include missing data, ordinal data, interval data, stochastic data, or fuzzy data. Therefore, how to evaluate the efficiency of a set of DMUs in interval environments is a problem worth studying. In this paper, we discussed the new method for evaluation and ranking i...

A two-stage model for ranking DMUs using DEA/‎AHP‎

‎In this paper, we present a two-stage model for ranking of decision making units (DMUs) using interval analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Since the efficiency score of unity is assigned to the efficient units, we evaluate the efficiency of each DMU by basic DEA models and calculate the weights of the criteria using proposed model. In the first stage, the proposed model evaluates decision making...
