Supplier selection has a strategic importance for every company. Hybrid integer data is one of the models in data envelopment analysis (DEA). In many real world applications, data are often stochastic. A successful approach to address uncertainty in data is to replace deterministic data via random variables, leading to chance-constrained DEA. In this paper, a chance-constrained hybrid integer d...

Among the various discriminant analysis (DA) methods, researchers have investigated several directions in this area: statistics, econometrics, computer data mining technologies and mathematical programming. Recently, as a nonparametric mathematical programming approach, Data envelopment analysis has been applied in DA area and received great attention. In this paper, we propose a new discrimina...

This paper examines three essential components which comprise efficiency evaluation in data envelopment analysis. The three components are present in each DEA model and determine the implicit evaluation scheme associated with the model. These components provide a framework for classifying the various DEA models with respect to (i) the form of envelopment surface, (ii) the orientation, and (iii)...

in this study, mazandaran water and wastewater company’ performance is evaluated by using an input-oriented data envelopment analysis. as a principle, the performance of each organizational unit or organization should be measured as far as possible and what cannot be evaluated cannot be well governed. one method of evaluating the performance of units is data envelopment analysis method. one of ...

Data envelopment analysis is computationally intensive. The standard approach requires the solution of as many LPs as there are points in the data domain, each with as many columns. This number is frequently in the thousands and multi-period DEA amplifies the problem. Enhancements that reduce the size of the LPs are possible and a new scheme consisting of partitioning the domain offers more tim...

DEA (Deta Envelopment Analysis) is a non-parametric technique for measuring the efficiency of DMUs (Decision Making Units)with common inputs and outputs [2,5]. viewpoint for each DMU because of taking a maximum ratio. During recent years, the issue of sensitivity and stability of data envelopment analysis results has been extensively studied. The first DEA sensitivity analysis paper by Charnes ...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has enjoyed a wide range of acceptance by researchers and practitioners alike as an instrument of performance analysis and management since its introduction in 1978. Many formulations and thousands of applications of DEA have been reported in a considerable variety of academic and professional journals all around the world. Almost all of the formulations and appl...

This paper examines the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methodology from a cognitive perspective. Specifically, it analyzes (a) the role of DEA scores as an overall efficiency measure and (b) to what extent the presence of DEA scores for a non-financial performance appraisal influences a posterior financial performance assessment. The study confirms that the efficiency score acts as a strong pe...

By employing the non-stochastic data envelopment analysis (DEA) method, the present paper provides empirical evidence on the efficiency of the Malaysian banking sector around the Asian financial crisis. The empirical findings suggest that the foreign banks (FB) have exhibited higher technical efficiency (TE) compared to their domestic bank counterparts. However, the results suggest that the FB ...
