data envelopment analysis (dea) is a method for measuring the relative efficiencies of a set of decision-making units (dmus) that use multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs. in this paper, we study the measurement of dmu performances in dea in situations where input and/or output values are given as imprecise data. by imprecise data we mean situations where we only know that the actual val...

in the classical data envelopment analysis (dea) models, inputs and outputs are assumed as known variables, and these models cannot deal with unknown amounts of variables directly. in recent years, there are few researches on handling missing data. this paper suggests a new interval based approach to apply missing data, which is the modified version of kousmanen (2009) approach. first, the prop...

recently the concept of facility efficiency, which defined by data envelopment analysis (dea), introduced as a location modeling objective, that provides facilities location’s effect on their performance in serving demands. by combining the dea models with the location problem, two types of “efficiencies” are optimized: spatial efficiency which measured by finding the least cost location and al...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a technique for measuring the efficiency of decision making units. in all models of the dea, for each unit under assessment, the numerical efficiency is obtained which may be less than or equal to one. given the possible large number of functional units, we use various ranking methods for evaluating units. one of the rating methods is balance index and topsis....

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a non-parametric technique for evaluation of relative efficiency of decision making units described by multiple inputs and outputs. it is based on solving linear programming problems. since 1978 when basic dea model was introduced many its modifications were formulated. among them are two or multi-stage models with serial or parallel structure often called net...

this paper proposes an alternative approach for efficiency analysis when a set of dmus uses interval scale variables in the productive process. to test the influence of these variables, we present a general approach of deriving dea models to deal with the variables. we investigate a number of performance measures with unrestricted-in-sign interval and/or interval scale variables.
