Classical unimodel analysis is less likely to capture potential links between the different datasets. Recently, a collaborative regression model based on least square (LS) method for this problem has been proposed. In this paper, we propose a robust collaborative regression based on the least absolute deviation (LAD). We give the statistical interpretation of the LS-collaborative regression and LAD-collaborative regression. Then we design an efficient symmetric Gauss–Seidel-based alternating direction method of multipliers algorithm to solve the two models, which has the global convergence and the Q-linear rate of convergence. Finally we report numerical experiments to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed methods.","PeriodicalId":8478,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pac. J. Oper.

First, a necessary optimality condition for approximate quasi-weakly efficient solutions to problem (VEP) is presented by making use of the properties of convexificators. Second, the notion of approximate pseudoconvex function in the form of convexificators is introduced, and its existence is verified by a concrete example. Under the introduced generalized convexity assumption, a sufficient optimality condition for approximate quasi-weakly efficient solutions to problem (VEP) is also established. Finally, a scalar characterization for approximate quasi-weakly efficient solutions to problem (VEP) is obtained by taking advantage of Tammer’s function.","PeriodicalId":8478,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pac.

In this study, we obtained energy efficiencies of construction, industrial, power, and transportation sectors in OECD countries for 2011 using DEA. It is possible to achieve the efficiencies in different sectors. However, we aim to find joint energy efficiency scores for all sectors. One of the methods proposed in the literature to obtain joint efficiency is network data envelopment analysis (network DEA). Network DEA treats sectors as sub-processes and obtains system and process efficiencies through optimal weights. Alternatively, we used a novel copula-based approach to achieve common efficiency scores. In this approach, it is possible to demonstrate the dependency structure between the efficiency scores of similar qualities obtained with DEA by copula families. New efficiency scores are obtained with the help of joint probability distribution. Then, we obtained joint efficiency scores through the copula approach using these efficiency scores. Finally, we obtained the joint efficiency scores of the same sectors through network DEA. As a result, we compared network DEA with the copula approach and interpreted the efficiencies of each energy sector and joint efficiencies.","PeriodicalId":8478,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pac. J. Oper.

The basic idea is to use an active set strategy as exchange rule to construct an approximate problem with finitely many constraints at each iteration. Under mild conditions, we prove that the proposed algorithm terminates in a finite number of iterations and guarantees that the solution of the resulting approximate problem at final iteration converges to the solution of the original problem within arbitrarily given tolerance. Numerical results indicate that the proposed algorithm is efficient and promising.","PeriodicalId":8478,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pac. J. Oper.
