Abstract:

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming technique for evaluatingthe relative efficiency of a set of Decision Making Units (DMUs) and can also be utilized forsetting target. Target setting is one of the important subjects since according to its resultsefficiency can be increased. An important issue to be currently discussed, is to set targetwhile considering share data. These data for each individual indicate the share of the unit,which takes part in an activity, from the whole amount which is a predefined constant. It isobvious that the sum of units’ share is equal to the entire amount. Thus, any changes in themagnitude of these data has to be dependent on the changes in data of other units. In thispaper a two-stage procedure is developed to find benchmark units where share data exist. Thefact that all DMUs are jointly projected onto the new efficient frontier and simplicity, are thesignificant features of the proposed method. With a numerical example we demonstrate howthis method works.

A Value Efficiency-Based Target Setting Approach in Data Envelopment Analysis

Basic models of Data Envelopment Analysis are intrinsically preference-free, in the sense that they consider all inputs and outputs and also all decision making units of the same importance. Although this property is beneficial in many ways, it has some drawbacks simultaneously, as the decision makers’ preferences are not taken into account in the process of evaluating units.  To overcome this ...

A Time-Domain Method for Shape Reconstruction of a Target with Known Electrical Properties (RESEARCH NOTE)

This paper uses a method for shape reconstruction of a 2-D homogeneous object with arbitrary geometry and known electrical properties. In this method, the object is illuminated by a Gaussian pulse, modulated with sinusoidal carrier plane wave and the time domains’ footprint signal due to object presence is used for the shape reconstruction. A nonlinear feedback loop is used to minimize the diff...
