the present study aims to address the problem of inadequate coverage of various aspects of organizational performance by balanced scorecard (bsc) model through its developing based on the european foundation for quality management (efqm) model. to this end, a developed bsc model, encompassing variables of stakeholders, resource effectiveness, processes effectiveness, human resource management e...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is an approach to measure the relative efficiency of decision-making units with multiple inputs and multiple outputs using mathematical programming. In the traditional DEA, it is assumed that we know the input or output role of each performance measure. But in some situations, the type of performance measure is unknown. These performance measures are called flexi...

Di Crescenzo and Longobardi (2002) has been proposed a measure of uncertainty related to past life namely past entropy. The present paper addresses the question of extending this concept to bivariate set-up and study some properties of the proposed measure. It is shown that the proposed measure uniquely determines the distribution function. Characterizations for some bivariate lifetime models a...

this study attempts to answer the question of distinguishing appropriate intensity measure parameter for performance-based design or assessment, taking into account the efficiency aspect. the comprehensive comparative tables proposed in this paper could be an effective support in the decision making procedure for intensity measure selection, comprising most of the frequently utilized intensity ...

in many signal processing applications, an appropriate measure to comparetwo signals plays a fundamental role in both implementing the algorithm andevaluating its performance. several techniques have been introduced in literature assimilarity measures. however, the existing measures are often either impractical forsome applications or they have unsatisfactory results in some other applications....

Scene matching is the process of locating a region of an image with the corresponding region of another image where both image regions represent the same scene. Although a lot of algorithms have appeared on scene matching, performance analysis is usually based on simple statistic experiment and performed simply and visually, and little attention has been given to evaluate performance of differe...

Sequence recognition performance is often summarised first in terms of the number of hits (H), substitutions (S), deletions (D) and insertions (I), and then as a single statistic by the “word error rate” WER = 100(S+D+I)/(H+S+D). While in common use, WER has two disadvantages as a performance measure. One is that it has no upper bound, so it doesn’t tell you how good a system is, only that one ...

Dirac measure is an important measure in many related branches to mathematics. The current paper characterizes measure-preserving transformations between two Dirac measure spaces or a Dirac measure space and a probability measure space. Also, it studies isomorphic Dirac measure spaces, equivalence Dirac measure algebras, and conjugate of Dirac measure spaces. The equivalence classes of a Dirac ...
