Robert G. Dyson,Rachel Allen,Ana S. Camanho,Victor V. Podinovski,Cláudia S. Sarrico,Estelle A. Shale +5 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to highlight some of the pitfalls that have been identified in application papers under each of these headings and to suggest protocols to avoid the pitfalls and guide the application of the methodology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the Comparative Efficiency of Higher Education Institutions in the UK by the Means of Data Envelopment Analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the comparative of higher education institutions in the UK and proposed concepts of cost and outcome efficiency in order to gain further insights into the universities' operations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Data envelopment analysis, operational research and uncertainty
Robert G. Dyson,Estelle A. Shale +1 more
TL;DR: The key approaches to handling uncertainty in data envelopment analysis (DEA) (imprecise DEA, bootstrapping, Monte Carlo simulation and chance constrained DEA) are reviewed and their suitability for modelling the applications is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some properties of a simple moving average when applied to forecasting a time series
TL;DR: A comparison of the performance of a simple moving average with an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) is made and it is shown that, for a steady state model, the variance of the forecast error is typically less than 3% higher than the appropriate EWMA.
Journal ArticleDOI
An examination of the size of orders from customers, their characterisation and the implications for inventory control of slow moving items
TL;DR: Examination of half a million observations of the size of orders from customers at an electrical wholesaler finds a strong relationship linking the mean and the variance of order size and the scheme employed is described.
