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...

the present study is an attempt toward evaluating the performance of portfolios and asset selectionusing cross-efficiency evaluation. cross-efficiency evaluation is an effective way of ranking decisionmaking units (dmus) in data envelopment analysis (dea). conventional dea models assume nonnegativevalues for inputs and outputs. however, we know that unlike return and skewness, varianceis the on...

association rules are among important techniques in data mining which are used for extracting hidden patterns and knowledge in large volumes of data. association rules help individuals and organizations take strategic decisions and improve their business processes. extracted association rules from a database contain important and confidential information that if published, the privacy of indivi...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a method for measuring the relative efficiencies of a set of decision-making units (dmus) that use multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs. in this paper, we study the measurement of dmu performances in dea in situations where input and/or output values are given as imprecise data. by imprecise data we mean situations where we only know that the actual val...
