The portfolio is a perfect combination of stock or assets, which an investor buys them. The objective of the portfolio is to divide the investment risk among several shares. Using non-parametric DEA and DEA-R methods can be of great significance in estimating portfolio. In the present paper, the efficient portfolio is estimated by using non-radial DEA and DEA-R models. By proposing non-radial m...

We present and demonstrate a multi-criteria approach for evaluating R&D projects in different stages of their life cycle. Our approach integrates the balanced scorecard (BSC) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) and develops an extended DEA model. The input and output measures for the integrated DEA–BSC model are grouped in “cards” which are associated with a “BSC for R&D projects”. The BSC is e...

evaluate the performance of companies on the stock exchange using non-parametric methods is very important. dea and dea-r with the strategies for piecewise linear frontier production function and use of available data, assess the stock company. in this study, using a neural network algorithm dea and dea-r is suggested to classify the first companies in the stock exchange; secondly, using the co...

malmquist productivity index (mpi) is a numeric index that is of great importance in measuring productivity and its changes. in recent years, tools like dea have been utilized for determining mpi. in the present paper, some models are recommended for calculating mpi when there are just ratio data available. then, using dea and dea-r, some models are proposed under the constant returns to scale ...

inthis article we offer a method of ranking contractors by using dea based onanalysis deficit and ahp. the process of hierarchical analysis (ahp) byproviding scales from paired comparison matrix, performs the contractor’sprioritizing choice. but ahp has some problems and to solve those problems,jahanshahloo and his colleagues presented a new model which uses dea andstandard deviation. in this a...

It is essential for most organizations and financial institutes to be able to evaluate their decision-making units (DMUs), when there is only a ratio of inputs to outputs (or vice versa) available. In this paper, we will propose our two-stage DEA-R models, which are a combination of data envelopment analysis and ratio data, based on value efficiency. Integrating value efficiency into data envel...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA), based on mathematical programming techniques, is a popular method for assessing the relative efficiency of various decision-making units (DMUs). Efficient DEA computations need to circumvent intensive time-consuming calculations. This paper indicates that the “corner points” in single input and single output scatter plot has extreme efficiency with regard to the...

Dissociative electron attachment (DEA) is the major process where molecules are destroyed in low-energy plasmas. DEA cross sections are therefore important for a whole variety of applications but are both hard to measure or compute accurately. A method for estimating DEA cross sections based a simple resonance plus survival model is presented. Test results are presented for DEA of molecular oxy...

Dyson et al. [Dyson, R.G., Allen, R., Camanho, A.S., Podinovski, V.V., Sarrico, C.S., Shale, E.A., 2001. Pitfalls and protocols in DEA. European Journal of Operational Research 132, 245–259] suggest that the application of DEA presents a range of problems and they suggest that the systematic collection and reporting of these problems would significantly enhance DEA practice. It is widely accept...
