Decision-making units (DMUs) in a group convert the same resources (i.e., input indices) into the same products (i.e., output indices) at different scales. Performance indices have different measurement units, and their market prices per…
We propose a novel DEA ranking based on a robust optimization viewpoint: the higher ranking for those DMU's that remain efficient even for larger variations of data and vice versa. This ranking can be computed by solving generalized linear…
In data envelopment analysis (DEA), the concept of efficiency is examined in either Farrell (DEA) or Pareto senses. In either of these senses, the efficiency status of a decision making unit (DMU) is classified as either weak or strong. It…
Identification of the reference set for each decision making unit (DMU) is a main concern in the data envelopment analysis (DEA). All of the methods developed to date have been focused on finding the furthest reference DMUs. In this paper,…
In a context of global economy, addressing SMEs performance within a local framework appears rather a naive approach. The key drawback of such an approach stems from its restriction to socio-economic factors that might lead to biased…
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) works like a black box that does not provide any adequate detail to identify the specific reason for inefficiency in decision-making units (DMUs). The motivation of this study is to analyze the cause of the…
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a technique used to measure the efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs). In order to measure the efficiency of DMUs, the essential requirement is input-output data. Data is usually collected by humans,…
We propose an approach for dynamic efficiency evaluation across multiple organizational dimensions using data envelopment analysis (DEA). The method generates both dimension-specific and aggregate efficiency scores, incorporates desirable…
In this paper, we reveal a new characterization of the super-efficiency model for Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). In DEA, the efficiency of each decision making unit (DMU) is measured by the ratio the weighted sum of outputs divided by the…
In data envelopment analysis (DEA), the occurrence of multiple reference sets is a crucial issue in identifying all the reference DMUs to a given decision making unit (DMU). To resolve this difficulty, we introduce the useful notion of…
In data envelopment analysis (DEA) literature, the returns to scale (RTS) of an inefficient decision making unit (DMU) is determined at its projected point on the efficient frontier. Under the occurrences of multiple projection points,…
This study develops a data-driven group variable selection method for data envelopment analysis (DEA), a non-parametric linear programming approach to the estimation of production frontiers. The proposed method extends the group Lasso…

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the performance of decision-making units (DMUs) using a hybrid fuzzy multi-objective (FMO) data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach. This study develops fuzzy multi-objective optimistic (FMOO) and…
Reducing the computational time to process large data sets in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is the objective of many studies. Contributions include fundamentally innovative procedures, new or improved preprocessors, and hybridization…
Sufficient numbers of Decision Making Units (DMUs) in comparison with the number of input and output variables has been a concern of using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in the last three decades. There are several studies in the…
Assessing the technical efficiency of a set of observations requires that the associated data composed of inputs and outputs are perfectly known. If this is not the case, then biased estimates will likely be obtained. Data Envelopment…
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is one of the most commonly used methods to estimate the returns to scale (RTS) of the public sector (e.g., research institutions). Existing studies are all based on the traditional definition of RTS in…
Natural language models are often summarized through a high-dimensional set of descriptive metrics including training corpus size, training time, the number of trainable parameters, inference times, and evaluation statistics that assess…
An alternative approach for the panel second stage of data envelopment analysis (DEA) is presented in this paper. Instead of efficiency scores, we propose to model rankings in the second stage using a dynamic ranking model in the…
