Systematized and Path-independent Measurement of Biased Technical Change [PDF]
The sample-specificity and path-dependence of the data envelopment analysis (DEA) based technical change index as a component of Malmquist indexes prevent us from obtaining overall and systematic information on technical change.

Generalized Malmquist orthogonal functions based model predictive control
Measurement + ControlThe computational burden could be an issue of traditional model predictive control (MPC) in real-time applications. There are different procedures to cope with this problem such as using explicit MPC or approximation of the control inputs using ...
