Selecting non-zero weights to evaluate effectiveness of basketball players with DEA
TL;DR: This paper shows how DEA may be used to identify component profiles as well as overall indices of performance in the context of an application to assessments of basketball players, using a procedure that recently developed that guarantees a full profile of non-zero weights, or "multipliers".
Journal ArticleDOI
Inefficiency and Congestion in Chinese Production Before and after the 1978 Economic Reforms
TL;DR: In this paper, a new model in DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) developed for identifying congesting inputs and estimating their impact is here applied to Chinese data over the period 1966-1988 for three industries: Textiles (labour intensive), Chemicals (capital intensive) and Metallurgical (in between these two extremes), to identify sources and estimate amounts.
Journal ArticleDOI
BAM: a bounded adjusted measure of efficiency for use with bounded additive models
TL;DR: The Bounded Adjusted Measure (BAM) is introduced in connection with a new family of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) additive models that incorporate lower bounds for inputs and upper bounds for outputs while accepting any returns to scale imposed on the production technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Theory of Search: Optimum Distribution of Search Effort
TL;DR: In this article, the optimal allocation of search effort in convex programming is formulated as a convex optimization problem, and a sketch of how extensions may also be effected to continuous distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blending aviation gasolines-a study in programming interdependent activities in an integrated oil company'
TL;DR: In this article, a commercial application-blending aviation gasolines is described and a relatively simple program is first calculated and more than one optimal program is then extended to more complex problems.
