this paper introduces discretionary imprecise data in data envelopment analysis (dea) and discusses the efficiency evaluation of decision making units (dmus) with non-discretionary imprecise data. then, suggests a method for evaluation the efficiency of dmus with non-discretionary imprecise data. when some inputs and outputs are imprecise and non-discretionary, the dea model becomes non-linear ...

banks are one of the most important financial sectors in order to the economic development of each country. certainly, efficiency scores and ranks of banks are significant and effective aspects towards future planning. sometimes the performance of banks must be measured in the presence of undesirable and vague factors. for these reasons in the current paper a procedure based on data envelopment...

Abstract—Data Envelopment Analysis is a kind of important analyzing tool and research method in evaluation. As a method, introducing secondary relative evaluation method, the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is applied to evaluate road traffic safety in different areas based on optimizing evaluation index system. This paper mostly discusses the relatively safety of different areas. Keywords—road...

this paper proposes a suitable benchmark for inefficient commercial bank branches by using data envelopment analysis (dea). in order to render an inefficient bank branch efficient, it is necessary to decrease inputs and increase outputs. as there are priorities for decreasing some certain inputs and increasing some certain outputs over other inputs and outputs, respectively, it is necessary to ...

‎in this paper, we present a two-stage model for ranking of decision making units (dmus) using interval analytic hierarchy process (ahp). since the efficiency score of unity is assigned to the efficient units, we evaluate the efficiency of each dmu by basic dea models and calculate the weights of the criteria using proposed model. in the first stage, the proposed model evaluates decision making...

in the present study, an attempt has been made to use data envelopment analysis (dea) for assessing the technical efficiency and return-to-scale for greenhouse cucumber production in iran. for this purpose, the data from greenhouses in esfahan province, during one period of plant cultivation in one year including spring plants were randomly collected. the results indicated that total input ener...
