The purpose of this study is to utilize a new method for ranking extreme efficient decision making units (DMUs) based upon the omission of these efficient DMUs from reference set of inefficient and non-extreme efficient DMUs in data envelopment analysis (DEA) models with constant and variable returns to scale. In this method, an L2- norm is used and it is believed that it doesn't have any e...

The endogenous selection and determination of return reference level is important in specifying risk efficient set. Thus, using multi-objective programming, Target–MOTAD in the framework of Mean-PAD and maximin parametric analysis models was established to obtained reference level of return endogenously. To determine non–inferior set for the farmers understudy, at first, the pay-off matrix was ...

in this study reference as one of the five cohesive devices in the achievement of textuality in english and persian narrative/descripitive written texts is focused on and analysed . to do so , the theoretical framework elaborated by halliday and hasan (1976) and its version adapted by the writer to match the sub-types of reference in farsi are applied to the analysis of reference in english and...
