Purpose: In addition to playing an important role in creating economic security and investment development, insurance companies also invest. The country's insurance industry as one of the country's financial institutions has a special place…

Research and development (R&D) of countries play a major role in a long-term development of the economy. We measure the R&D efficiency of all 28 member countries of the European Union in the years 2008--2014. Super-efficient data…

This article presents a Benchmarking methodology to support decision-making for international market selection (IMS). In order to do so, we will be using an output-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model. This methodology considers…

This paper is based on a case study of an IT organization in a large, US-based healthcare provider, and develops simluation models to identify areas for performance improvement. These organizations are often grouped into departments by…

Determining which organizations are more effective in implementing an intervention program is essential for theoretically and empirically characterizing exemplary practice and for intervening to enhance the capacity of ineffective ones. Yet…

Deep Research Agents (DRAs) are promising agentic systems that gather and synthesize information to support research across domains such as financial decision-making, medical analysis, and scientific discovery. Despite recent improvements…

Quantifying structural stress in transaction networks requires metrics that capture structural organization beyond transaction volume alone. In this work, we introduce the Inefficiency Metric, a deterministic indicator designed to…

We introduce a new non parametric method that allows for a direct, fast and efficient estimation of the matrix of kernel norms of a multivariate Hawkes process, also called branching ratio matrix. We demonstrate the capabilities of this…

We present a new method for analyzing stochastic epidemic models under minimal assumptions. The method, dubbed DSA, is based on a simple yet powerful observation, namely that population-level mean-field trajectories described by a system of…

In recent years the literature has put a greater emphasis on theory building in the context of Enterprise Architecture, EA, research. Specifically, scholars tend to focus on EA-based capabilities that organize and deploy…

Sensor-based human activity recognition is a key technology for many human-centered intelligent applications. However, this research is still in its infancy and faces many unresolved challenges. To address these, we propose a comprehensive…

Tabular data inherently exhibits significant feature heterogeneity, but existing transformer-based methods lack specialized mechanisms to handle this property. To bridge the gap, we propose MAYA, an encoder-decoder transformer-based…

We systematically study cornerstones that must be solved to define an air traffic control benchmarking system based on a Data Envelopment Analysis. Primarily, we examine the appropriate decision-making units, what to consider and what to…

In this paper, a novel feature selection method is presented, which is based on Class-Separability (CS) strategy and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). To better capture the relationship between features and the class, class labels are…

Annual ranking of higher educational institutions (HEIs) is a global phenomenon and have significant impact on higher education landscape. Most of the HEIs pay close attention to ranking results and look forward to improving their ranks.…

This study explores various feature selection techniques applied to macro-economic forecasting, using Iran's World Bank Development Indicators. Employing a comprehensive evaluation framework that includes Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and…

The proposed approach yields a numerical method that provably executes in linear time with respect to the number of nodes and edges in a graph. The graph, constructed from the power system model, requires only knowledge of the dependencies…

This paper presents a mathematical framework for characterizing state blocking in discrete event systems (DES) under transition deletions. We introduce a path-based analysis approach that determines whether systems maintain non-blocking…

Bank financial performance encapsulates an institution's capacity to effectively manage its assets, capital, and operational activities to generate profits and ensure stability. Evaluating this performance necessitates the integration of…

Modelling systems with networks has been a powerful approach to tame the complexity of several phenomena. Unfortunately, such an approach is often made difficult by the large number of variables to take into consideration. Methods of…
