Developing of a Dynamic Network Data Envelopment Analysis Model for Performance Evaluating Banking Sector [PDF]
چشمانداز مدیریت صنعتی, 2017 Data envelopment analysis is a mathematical technique to evaluate the performance of DMUs with similar inputs and outputs. The traditional models don’t consider the internal structure of DMUs and have a black box perspective, so in order to assess the ...

Measuring performance with common weights: network DEA [PDF]
Neural Computing and Applications, 2019 In conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA), a production system has been seen as a black box for measuring the efficiency without any attention to what is happening inside the system. However, in practice, performance improvement often requires observing the internal structure of the producing system in order to find the sources of inefficiencies.
