        مدلهای اساسی تحلیل پوششی داده ها به طور ذاتی ارزیابی واحدهای تصمیم گیرنده را با دیدگاه خوشبینانه انجام میدهند، به این مفهوم که ارزیابی عملکرد هر واحد تصمیم گیرنده از طریق مقایسه آن واحد با مرز کارایی انجام میشود. مرز کارایی در واقع مرز متشکل از همه واحدهایی است که نشان دهنده بهترین عملکرد هستند. اگر یک فعالیت روی مرز کارایی قرار داشته باشد کاملا کارا و در غیر این صورت غیرکارا نامیده میشود. به منظور ارائه یک ارزیابی دقیقتر می توان وضعیت واحدهای تصمیم گیرنده را با دیدگاه بدبینانه نیز مورد بررسی قرار داد، به این مفهوم که مرزی تحت عنوان مرز ناکارایی متشکل از همه واحدهایی که بدترین عملکرد را دارند، تشکیل داده و سپس عملکرد هر واحد تصمیم گیرنده را نسبت به آن ارزیابی نمود، به این صورت که هر چه یک واحد تصمیم گیرنده به مرز ناکارایی نزدیکتر باشد، ناکاراتر تلقی میشود. به صورت مشابه یک فعالیت را کاملا ناکارا گوییم اگر روی مرز ناکارایی قرار داشته باشد. در غیر این صورت آن را غیر ناکارا می نامیم. در این مقاله با در نظر گرفتن این فرض که مجموعه امکان تولید نامحدب است، به تحلیل کارایی و ناکارایی واحدهای تحت بررسی پرداخته و آنها را در دو رده کاملا (نا)کارا و غیر (نا)کارا افراز میکنیم. سپس مفهوم پایداری افراز را در تحلیل کارایی و ناکارایی مورد بررسی قرار میدهیم. در نهایت با فرض این که واحدهای تحت ارزیابی دارای ورودی و خروجی بازه ای هستد، به ارزیابی کارایی و ناکارایی آنها می‌پردازیم. تفاصيل المقالة

        It is of special importance to calculate and recognize the quantity of congestion, as one of the major sources of inefficiency in different areas, and attempt to resolve it in order for reducing the costs and increasing the output. To date, various methods have been proposed for the calculation of congestion in classic data envelopment analysis (DEA) with precise input and output values while, in the real world, the input and output values are imprecise in most of the cases. The present paper proposes a new model for calculating the congestion interval for interval data in such cases that the interval inputs are not constrained to the selection of dominant projection points and, thereby, more outputs can be generated for the projection points. The proposed method is used for assessing the inefficiency and finding the values of congestion in the inputs of 20 bank branches. تفاصيل المقالة

        Unemployment is one of the most important economic problems in Iran, so that many of its managers plan to increase employment rates. Increasing the employment rate needs to increase economic productivity which DEA is one of the most appropriate evaluation methods for estimating the productivity of similar organizations. Employment in the amount of data input and output can be just interval. In this study by solving two models, using one of which the upper bound for efficiency and using the other, the lower bound for decision making units efficiency is acquired, we provide a new model for Most productive scale size with interval data. The main purpose of this study is to determine the productivity of Iran and sensitive indicators to provide a fundamental solution to exit from unemployment. The economic sector managers can do more exact planning for economic growth. تفاصيل المقالة

        One of the best methods for computing the efficiency of decision-Making Units (DMU) is Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) that is useful for improving organizational performance. If we added a new unit to our observation sets, we have to run the model again. Nowadays, datasets from many organizations in the real world have been growing. So, we need a huge amount of computation for examining efficiency for new dataset. To overcome this problem, we combine Machine Learning (ML) and DEA. We consider organizations have interval data. According to we have interval data set, so we use interval DEA. Actually, we link between interval DEA and ML algorithms. First, we compute the efficiency score of these organizations by using Interval DEA. Second, we compute two scores that come in the first stage. Then, use these scores in ML. The empirical results show that the average accuracy of the predicted efficiency of DMUs is about 89%. تفاصيل المقالة

In this method, there is no need to know the exact weight of the qualities, and this method deals with the best option without changing the qualitative qualities. This method is a suitable method for choosing the best option when the data is an interval. And it is faster than the classic method. تفاصيل المقالة

        9 - Robust optimization for identifying the most efficient decision making unit in data envelopment analysis

        Due to the nonlinear and discrete nature of BCC (Banker, Charnes, and Cooper, [11]) models for determining the most efficient decision-making unit, it is practically impossible to evaluate the models' dual and, consequently, optimistic case. Thus, in this paper, the linear model with linear constraints proposed by Akhlaghi et al. [2] is used to investigate the dual equality of the model's robust problem and the optimistic case of the new model's dual under VRS uncertainty. The model proposed in this paper is novel in comparison to previous models because it solves the most efficient decision-making unit only once, without relying on uncertain data to determine its rank. The paper demonstrates how the proposed robust model can also ascertain the most efficient decision-making unit when uncertainty exists. Furthermore, the dual issues raised by robust counterparts in the new linear programming (LP) model are addressed to identify the most efficient decision-making unit. The robust counterpart is demonstrated to be equivalent to a linear program under interval uncertainty, and the dual of the robust counterpart is shown to be equal to the optimistic counterpart of the dual problem. Consequently, this study aims to demonstrate that the dual problem is equivalent to a decision-maker operating under optimal data, whereas the primal robust problem is equivalent to a decision-maker operating through the worst-case possible data scenario. تفاصيل المقالة

        Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming-based approach for evaluates the relative efficiency of a set of DMUs (Decision Making Units). The relative efficiency of a DMU is the result of comparing the inputs and outputs of the DMU and those of other DMUs in the PPS (Production Possibility Set). Also, in Data Envelopment Analysis various models have been developed in order to evaluate the performance of decision-making units with negative data. The Modified Slack Based Measure (MSBM) model is from collective models family. This modified model is based on slack-based measure (SBM). Also the early models of data envelope analysis considered inputs and outputs as precise data. However, in studies about the data envelope analysis, some methods presented for applying imprecise data. Based on this, data envelope analysis models with interval data have been developed. In this paper, the MSBM model is investigated in presence of interval negative data, and then the efficiency of the model with imprecise data (interval) is evaluated. The efficiency of ten decision-making units is evaluated. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this paper, the difference between multiplicative and envelopment models of network DEA is examined, in which network DEA multiplicative model is able to calculate efficiency and the envelopment model can calculate the projection on the frontier. Here, a model is presented that can calculate both frontier projection and efficiency in network DEA. Since in real world, many data are interval data, we present a model in this article that calculates the efficiency of the units being evaluated by such these interval data. Since data are as intervals, the resulting efficiencies are calculated as intervals. We present two models for calculating the lower and upper bounds for any DMU and prove that these models give upper and lower bounds of efficiency. تفاصيل المقالة

The DEA classic models calculate each unit’s efficiency in the best condition, meaning that finds a weight that the DMU is at its maximum efficiency. In this paper, utilizing the directional distance function model in the presence of undesirable outputs, the efficiency of each unit has been calculated in the best and worst condition and an efficiency interval for each DMU is designated and then with aid from these efficiency interval, we present an interval for each unit with a proportionate Malmquist productivity index, that these intervals indicate the progression or regression of each DMU. تفاصيل المقالة

        Wang et al. (2005) proposed a pair of data envelopment analysis (DEA) models to deal with the efficiency assessment of decision-making units (DMU) in the presence of interval input/output data. Their approach was developed with reference to an earlier approach proposed by Despotis and Smirlis (2002) for the same problem. Given that the input/output data are given as interval numbers, the efficiency scores are interval measures as well. In such a setting, both approaches provide lower and upper bounds for the efficiency scores. Wang et al. (2005) claim that the lower and upper bounds calculated in Despotis and Smirlis (2002) are incorrect. Then, they present different models to calculate the true bounds. In this paper, we counter-argue their claim and we show that the Despotis and Smirlis bounds are correct and those provided in Wang et al. are estimated in a manner that they fail to satisfy an obvious property that they should possess. We illustrate our arguments with a counterexample that was originally used in Wang et. al (2005). تفاصيل المقالة

        In this paper we extend the concept of "cost minimizing industry structure" and develop two DEA models for dealing with imprecise data. The main aim of this study is to propose an approach to compute the industry cost efficiency measure in the presence of interval data. We will see that the value obtained by the proposed approach is an interval value. The lower bound and upper bound of the interval industry cost efficiency measure are computed and then decomposed into three components to examine the relationship between them and the lower and upper bounds of the individual interval cost efficiency measures. We also define the cost efficient organization of the industry as a set of DMUs, which minimizes the total cost of producing the interval industry output vector. In fact, this paper determines the optimal number of DMUs and the reallocation of the industry observed outputs among them. We hereby determine the effects of the optimal number of DMUs and the reallocation of outputs among them on the interval industry cost efficiency measure. Finally, a numerical example will be presented to illustrate the proposed approach. تفاصيل المقالة

        As we know, in evaluating of DMUs some of them might be efficient, so ranking of them have a high significant. One of the ranking methods is cross-efficiency. Cross efficiency evaluation in data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a commonly used skill for ranking decision making units (DMUs). Since, many studies ignore the intra-organizational communication and consider DMUs as a black box. For significant of this subject, we applied cross-efficiency for network DMUs. However, In view of the fact that precise input and output data may not always be available in real world due to the existence of uncertainty, we have developed the model with interval data. the existing classical interval DEA method is not able to rank the DMUs, but can only classify them as efficient or inefficient , so this paper improve that. The proposed method can be used for each network that includes DMUs with two stages in production process. However, this paper is the first study that examined cross efficiency of DMUs in structure framework with interval data. the new approach enables us to ranking of first stage for n DMU and second stages of them. DMUs with the best rank can be used as benchmark for improving efficiency of other DMUs. Finally, We present Illustrate example with two steps for proposed model that can be develop for more than two steps. تفاصيل المقالة

        Data envelopment analysis (DEA) as a non-parametric method has covered a wide range of applications in measuring comparative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) with multiple incommensurate inputs and outputs. The standard DEA method requires that all input and output variables be known as semi positive. In many real situations, the presence of undesirable and even negative data are inevitable. In DEA literature there have been various approaches to enable DEA to deal with negative data. On the other hand, the structure of interval data has recently attracted considerable attention among DEA researchers. According to importance of interval data, this paper proposes a radial measure which permits the presence of undesirable and negative data with interval structure. The proposed model can evaluate the efficiency of all DMUs and leads to improve the inefficient unit with interval negative and undesirable data. To elucidate the details of the proposed method an illustrative example of a private bank in IRAN explores the applicability of the proposed method. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this article, we investigate a new continuous linear model with constraints for the direct selection of the most efficient unit in the analysis of data coverage presented by Akhlaghi et al. (2021) on uncertainty robust optimization. Considering the importance of incorporating uncertainty into performance evaluation models in the real world and its increasing application in various problems, we propose a robust optimization approach. Given the discrete and non-convex nature of the introduced models for selecting the most efficient decision-making unit, examining the dual and finding an optimistic scenario is practically impossible. Therefore, by utilizing the linear model presented by Akhlaghi et al. (2021) with constraints for identifying the most efficient unit, we can investigate the robustness of the desired model using(BS )Bertsimas and Sim's (2004) robust estimation method while also considering uncertainty. We aim to demonstrate that employing a robust formulation leads to reliable performance in uncertain conditions تفاصيل المقالة

        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 network DEA models that are widely discussed in professional community in the last years. The exact known inputs and outputs are required in these DEA models. However, in the real world, the concern is systems with interval (bounded) data. When we incorporate such interval data into multi-stage DEA models, the resulting DEA model becomes a non-linear programming problem. In this study, we suggest an approach to measure the efficiency of series and parallel systems with interval data that preserves the linearity of DEA model. Also, the interval DEA models are proposed to measure the lower and upper bounds of the efficiency of each DMU with interval data. تفاصيل المقالة
