Crisp input and output data are fundamentally indispensable in traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA). However, the real-world problems often deal with imprecise or ambiguous data. In this paper, we propose a novel robust data envelopment model (RDEA) to investigate the efficiencies of decision-making units (DMU) when there are discrete uncertain input and output data. The method is based ...

This paper introduces a new robust data envelopment analysis (RDEA) approach for analyzing and ranking the organizations’ operations strategies. In the proposed RDEA method, pessimistic and optimistic efficiencies of decision making units (DMUs) obtained from the robust counterpart of the envelopment form and the optimistic counterpart of the multiplier form of DEA are introduced. The inputs an...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is one of the popular and applicable techniques for assessing and ranking the stocks or other financial assets. It should be noted that in the financial markets, most of the times, the inputs and outputs of DEA models are accompanied by uncertainty. Accordingly, in this paper, a novel Robust Data Envelopment Analysis (RDEA) model, which is capable to be used in t...

Rough data envelopment analysis (RDEA) evaluates the performance of the decision making units (DMUs) under rough uncertainty assumption. In this paper, new discussion regarding RDEA is extended. The RSBM model is proposed by integrating SBM model and rough set theory. The process of reaching solution is presented and this model is applied to efficiency evaluation of the DMUs with uncertain ...

for efficiency evaluation of some of the decision making units that have uncertain information, rough data envelopment analysis technique is used, which is derived from rough set theorem and data envelopment analysis (dea). in some situations rough data alter nonradially. to this end, this paper proposes additive rough–dea model and illustrates the proposed model by a numerical example.

The classic overall profit needs precise information of inputs, outputs, inputs and outputs price vectors. In real word, all data are not certain. Therefore, in this case, stochastic and fuzzy methods use for measuring overall profit efficiency. These methods require more information about the data such as probability distribution function or data membership function, which in some cases may no...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been widely applied in measuring the efficiency of Decision-Making Units (DMUs). The conventional DEA three major drawbacks: a) it does not consider Decision Makers’ (DMs) preferences evaluation process, b) DMUs this model are flexible weighting criteria to reach maximum possible efficiency, and c) ignores uncertainty data. However, many real-world applicatio...

There are situations that Decision Making Units (DMU’s) have uncertain information and their inputs and outputs cannot alter redially. To this end, this paper combines the rough set theorem (RST) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and proposes a non-redial Rough-DEA (RDEA) model so called additive rough-DEA model and illustrates the proposed model by a numerical example.  

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is one of non-parametric methods for evaluating efficiency of each unit. Limited resources in healthcare economy is the main reason in measuring efficiency of hospitals. In this study, a bootstrap interval data envelopment analysis (BIRDEA) is proposed for measuring the efficiency of hospitals affiliated with the Hamedan University of Medical Sciences. The propos...
