A Recurrent Neural Network to Identify Efficient Decision Making Units in Data Envelopment Analysis
Authors
Abstract:
In this paper we present a recurrent neural network model to recognize efficient Decision Making Units(DMUs) in Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA). The proposed neural network model is derived from an unconstrained minimization problem. In theoretical aspect, it is shown that the proposed neural network is stable in the sense of lyapunov and globally convergent. The proposed model has a single-layer structure. Simulation shows that the proposed model is effective to identify efficient DMUs in DEA.

Benchmark Forecasting in Data Envelopment Analysis for Decision Making Units
Although DEA is a powerful method in evaluating DMUs, it does have some limitations. One of the limitations of this method is the result of the evaluation is based on previously data and the results are not proper for forecasting the future changes. So For this purpose, we design feedback loops for forecasting inputs and outputs through system dynamics and simulation. Then we use DEA model to f...
full textRanking Efficient Decision Making Units in Data Envelopment Analysis based on Changing Reference Set
One of the drawbacks of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is the problem of lack of discrimination among efficient Decision Making Units (DMUs). A method for removing this difficulty is called changing reference set proposed by Jahanshahloo and et.al (2007). The method has some drawbacks. In this paper a modified method and new method to overcome this problems are suggested. The main advantage of...

full textFinding the most efficient decision making unit in data envelopment Analysis
Although discriminating between all efficient decision making units (DMUs) with identical efficiency is a very important subject in data envelopment analysis (DEA), it may not be an easy task, particularly when the decision maker wants to select one and only one efficient DMU among all. There are some papers that have proposed methods for finding an efficient DMU as the most efficient one but h...
full textRanking Efficient and Inefficient Decision Making Units in Data Envelopment Analysis
Data envelopment analysis is a non-parametric linear programming method capable of the efficiency evaluation of decision making units (e.g. public transport companies). It is very often used in the transport sector for the efficiency assessment of airports, ports, railways and public transport companies. However, the original DEA method does not differentiate the efficient firms and thus, does ...
