In Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), it is highly important to identify the defining hyperplanes and especially the strong defining hyperplanes of the empirical PPS. Although DEA models can determine the efficiency of a Decision Making Unit (DMU), but they cannot present efficient frontiers of PPS. In this paper, we propose a new method to determine all strong efficient (Pareto-efficient) DMUs and strong defining hyperplanes of the PPS with constant returns to scale including the Pareto-efficient DMUs. Furthermore, we apply the newly proposed method to find the normal vectors or gradient of the strong defining hyperplanes of the PPS including strong efficient DMUs which are under evaluation. Consequently, the equations of these hyperplanes are determined. To illustrate the applicability of the proposed method, some numerical examples are finally provided. Our method can be easily implemented using existing packages for operation research, such as GAMS.","PeriodicalId":92618,"journal":{"name":"Cogent mathematics & statistics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23311835.2018.1447222","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47784196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study suggests the similar adaptation combined with the Almon technique in order to get more efficient estimator of vector of lag coefficients in the DLM. Performance of the proposed estimator has been evaluated through the Monte Carlo simulations. The simulation results show an attractive performance of the proposed estimator in terms of efficiency.","PeriodicalId":92618,"journal":{"name":"Cogent mathematics & statistics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/25742558.2018.1538596","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45950393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
