For efficiency evaluation of some of the Decision Making Units that have uncertain information, Rough Data Envelopment Analysis technique is used, which is derived from rough set theorem and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). In some situations rough data alter nonradially. To this end, this paper proposes additive rough–DEA model and illustrates the proposed model by a numerical example.

data envelopment analysis is a nonparametric technique checking efficiency of dmus using math programming. in conventional dea, it has been assumed that the status of each measure is clearly known as either input or output. kao and hwang (2008) developed a data envelopment analysis (dea) approach for measuring efficiency of decision processes which can be divided into two stages. the first stag...

Abstract: Classical cost efficiency (CE) measurement models require exact and accurate knowledge of the input and output values for each decision making unit (DMU). However, the observed values of the input and output data in real-world problems are often imprecise or vague. In recent years, fuzzy data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been successfully used to deal with imprecise or vague data in...

in the paper a model to predict the concentrations of particulate matter pm10, pm2.5, so2, no, co and o3 for a chosen number of hours forward is proposed. the method requires historical data for a large number of points in time, particularly weather forecast data, actual weather data and pollution data. the idea is that by matching forecast data with similar forecast data in the historical data...

The main goal of the paper is a consideration of cost efficiency evaluation models related to some supply chain when dealing with imprecise data. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) method is a non-parametric mathematical programming approach to assess the performance. This method is proposed for deterministic data and it can be generalized to inaccurate data, while considering real world applicati...

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...

in some data envelopment analysis (dea) applications, some inputs of dmus have negative values with positive cost. this paper generalizes the global cost malmquist productivity index to compare the productivity of dierent dmus with negative inputs in any two periods of times under variable returns to scale (vrs) technology, and then the generalized index is decomposed to several components. th...
