Syyed Nima Hashemi Ghermezi, Taher Taherian, Farhad Hosseinzadeh Lotfi . Data Envelopment Analysis with Functional Data using Preference Method. International Journal of Computer Applications. 55, 14 ( October 2012), 48-53. DOI=10.5120/8827-2908
In this paper we assess the efficiency of units using data envelopment analysis (DEA). In first stage, a functional data is converted to a fuzzy bell shape number and then a benchmark point would be chosen for each input or output and using the preference ratio method, the equivalence multiplier of each data would be calculated. In order to simplification of functional data, functional data will be replaced bythe equivalence multiplier.
