Ranking Efficient Decision Making Units in Data Envelopment Analysis based on Changing Reference Set
author
Abstract:
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 this method is minimizing coefficient of variation t that has crucial role in ranking efficient DMUs. Numerical example for illustration suggested method are given. To validate new methods, the author compared the obtained result from new suggested method with Norm 1 which is efficient methods for ranking DMus.

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...

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-laye...

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 ...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a method for determining the performance of units under evaluation of DMUs. Each decision-making unit using multiple inputs produces multiple outputs whose nature of outputs may be desirable or undesirable. Units whose performance score equals one are efficient. The concept of ranking decision makers because of the useful information they provide to decision m...

In this study, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were compared when these two methods are used for ranking Decision Making Units (DMU) with multiple inputs and outputs. DEA, a nonstatistical technique, is a methodology using a linear programming model for evaluating and ranking DMU’s performance. PCA, a multivariate statistical method, uses new measures defi...
