Finding the favorable weights from pairwise comparison matrices is very important to rank the alternatives in Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) concept. Using Linear Programming has considered to develop this field ...

This article discusses the effect of uncontrollable factors on constant returns-to-scale production technologies in data envelopment analysis(DEA). First we show that the Banker and Morey CRS technology is not convex and ...

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 ...

Traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) models usually evaluate the efficiency scores of decision making units (DMUs) with precise data from an optimistic point of view where the status of each measure (i.e. input/output) ...
