during the last years, the concept of input congestion and technical ineff-ciency in data envelopment analysis (dea), have been investigated by manyresearchers. the motivation of this paper is to present models which obtain thedecreased output value due to input congestion and technical ineciency. more-over, we extend the models to estimate input congestion, technical ineciencyand output red...

We introduce a technique for identification of systems with arbitrarily time-variant responses from samples of their input and output signals, and without using any prior information about the dynamics of the unknown system response. Our technique is based on the use of optimized averaging filters for the estimation of time-variant second order moments. We demonstrate the utility of our approac...

In a recent paper by Vencheh and Esmaeilzadeh, a super-efficiency model based on RDM model is formulated where some input and output data are negative. However, we show that the formulation in the paper is not always feasible or bounded for its purpose and cannot produce the numerical results claimed. Moreover, we demonstrate that the super-efficiency model based on RDM model is unable to provi...
