The full ranking or complete ranking of decision making units is one of the main ‎issues in data envelopment analysis. A full ranking is a ranking that considers all ‎efficient and inefficient units simultaneously and finds a ranking for them. Almost all ‎of the developed ranking methods consider only the efficient units. On the other hand, ‎ranking inefficient units by traditional data envelop...

in models of data envelopment analysis (dea), an optimal set of input and output weights is generally as-sumed to represent the assessed decision making unit (dmu) in the best light in comparison to all the other dmus. these sets of weights are, typically, different for each of the participating dmus. thus, it is important to find a common set of weights (csw) across the set of dmus. in this pa...

in this article, non radial method of dynamic dea with the parallel network structure is presented and is used for calculation of relative efficiency measures when inputs and outputs do not change equally. in this model, dmu divisions under evaluation have been put together in parallel. but its dynamic structure is assumed in series. since in real applications there are undesirable inputs and o...

This paper presents a preliminary study of developing a novel distributed adaptive real-time learning framework for wide area monitoring of power systems integrated with distributed generations using synchrophasor technology. The framework comprises distributed agents (synchrophasors) for autonomous local condition monitoring and fault detection, and a central unit for generating global view fo...

With the complexity and amount of information in a wide variety of comparative performance reports in poultry production, making a decision is difficult. This problem is overcomed only when all data can be put into a common unit. For this purpose, five different decision making analysis approaches including  Maximin, Equally likely, Weighted average, Ordered weighted averages and Technique for ...

sohrabi and nalchigar (2010) proposed a new data envelopment analysis (dea) model to identify the most efficient decision-making unit (dmu) in presence of imprecise data. in this paper, it is shown that the proposed model is not able to determine the most efficient dmu and is randomly introduced an efficient dmu. in addition, it is shown that this model determines the most efficient dmu in the ...

background: the integrated educational system and service provision have involved the managers of iranian universities of medical sciences in different tasks and limited their access to adequate information for decision making. hence, it seems to be vital to adopt plans in order to provide necessary information for decision making. the current study was carried out to define the role of researc...

Abstract. The objective of this paper is to develop a hybrid scheme (nonlinear observer and fuzzy decision making) for fault detection and isolation (FDI) in the reaction wheels of a satellite. Specifically, the goal is to decide whether a bus voltage fault, a current fault or a temperature fault has occurred in one of the three reaction wheels and further to localize which fault has occurred. ...
