In original Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models for measuring the relative efficiencies of a set of Decision Making Units (DMUs) using various inputs to produce various outputs are limited to crisp data. To deal with imprecise data, the notion of fuzziness has been introduced. this paper develops a procedure to measure the efficiencies of DMUs with fuzzy observations. The basic idea is to tr...

in this paper, it is assumed that the “decision making units“( ) are consist of positive and negative input and output. firstly, the optimistic and pessimistic models have been suggested by using negative data and then units with most productive scale size are measured in optimistic and pessimistic models. these productive values are compared with double frontiers and hurwicz’s criterion to obt...

Learning methods vary in the optimism or pessimism with which they regard the informativeness of learned knowledge. Pessimism is implicit in hypothesis testing, where we wish to draw cautious conclusions from experimental evidence. However, this paper demonstrates that optimism in the utility of derived rules may be the preferred bias for learning systems themselves. We examine the continuum be...

    In this paper, a new revenue efficiency data envelopment analysis (RE-DEA) approach is considered for finding the most revenue efficient unit with price uncertainty in both optimistic and pessimistic perspectives. The optimistic and pessimistic perspectives use efficient frontier and inefficient frontier, respectively. An integrated model is introduced to find decision making units (DMUs) t...

Performance assessment often has to be conducted under uncertainty. This paper proposes a ‘‘fuzzy expected value approach’’ for data envelopment analysis (DEA) in which fuzzy inputs and fuzzy outputs are first weighted, respectively, and their expected values then used to measure the optimistic and pessimistic efficiencies of decision making units (DMUs) in fuzzy environments. The two efficienc...
