common weights determination in data envelopment analysis

COMMON WEIGHTS DETERMINATION IN DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS

In models of data envelopment analysis (DEA), an optimal set of weights is generally assumed to represent the assessed decision making unit (DMU) in the best light in comparison to all the other DMUs, and so there is an optimal set of weights corresponding to each DMU. The present paper, proposes a three stage method to determine one common set of weights for decision making units. Then, we use...

Portfolio Selection using Data Envelopment Analysis with common weights

The stock evaluation process plays an important role in portfolio selection because it is the prerequisite for investment and directly influences on the stock allocation. This paper presents a methodology based on Data Envelopment Analysis for portfolio selection, decision making units which can be stocks or other financial assets. First, DMUs efficiencies are computed based on input/output com...

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

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric method for evaluating the efficiency of Decision Making Units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and outputs. In the traditional DEA models, the DMU is allowed to use its most favorable multiplier weights to maximize its efficiency. There is usually more than one efficient DMU which cannot be further discriminated. Evaluating DMUs with different mult...
