Abstract:

This paper proposes an alternative approach for efficiency analysis when a set of DMUs uses interval scale variables in the productive process. To test the influence of these variables, we present a general approach of deriving DEA models to deal with the variables. We investigate a number of performance measures with unrestricted-in-sign interval and/or interval scale variables.

dea models with interval scale inputs and outputs

this paper proposes an alternative approach for efficiency analysis when a set of dmus uses interval scale variables in the productive process. to test the influence of these variables, we present a general approach of deriving dea models to deal with the variables. we investigate a number of performance measures with unrestricted-in-sign interval and/or interval scale variables.

Chance-constrained DEA models with random fuzzy inputs and outputs

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a widely used mathematical programming technique for comparing the inputs and outputs of a set of homogenous Decision Making Units (DMUs) by evaluating their relative efficiency. The conventional DEA methods assume deterministic and precise values for the input and output observations. However, the observed values of the input and output data in real-world pro...

Piecewise Linear Virtual Inputs/Outputs in Interval DEA

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is the leading technique for assessing the efficiency of decision making units (DMU) in the presence of multiple inputs and outputs. The two milestone DEA models, namely the CCR (Charnes et al., 1978) and the BCC (Banker et al., 1984) models have become standards in the literature of performance measurement. Recent applications of DEA include, among others, those...

returns to scale of dmus by interval inputs and outputs in data envelopment analysis (dea)

the basic models of data envelopment analysis (dea) are designed in such a way that the values of input and output indicators should be identified and known in them. in other words, these models are not used to consider inaccurate, interval, fuzzy, judgment data. in this paper, the aim is to not only review the past researches about the efficiency of the units by interval data and represent the...

Inputs and Outputs Estimation in Inverse DEA

The present study addresses the following question: if among a group of decision making units, the decision maker is required to increase inputs and outputs to a particular unit in which the DMU, with respect to other DMUs, maintains or improves its current efficiencylevel, how much should the inputs and outputs of the DMU increase? This question is considered as a problem of inverse data envel...

Radial DEA models without inputs or without outputs

In this paper we consider radial DEA models without inputs (or without outputs), and radial DEA models with a single constant input (or with a single constant output). We demonstrate that (i) a CCR model without inputs (or without outputs) is meaningless; (ii) a CCR model with a single constant input (or with a single constant output) coincides with the corresponding BCC model; (iii) a BCC mode...
