Amin, G. R. and A. Emrouznejad (2006). “An extended minimax disparity to determine the OWA operator weights.” Computers and Industrial Engineering 50(3): 312-316.

Amin, G. R. and A. Emrouznejad (2006). “An extended minimax disparity to determine the OWA operator weights.” Computers and Industrial Engineering 50(3): 312-316. This paper contributes to extend the minimax disparity to determine the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) model based on linear programming. It introduces the minimax disparity approach between any distinct pairs of the …

Emrouznejad, A. (2005). “Measurement efficiency and productivity in SAS/OR.” Computers and Operations Research 32(7): 1665-1683.

Emrouznejad, A. (2005). “Measurement efficiency and productivity in SAS/OR.” Computers and Operations Research 32(7): 1665-1683. This paper explores the use of the optimisation procedures in SAS/OR software with application to the measurement of efficiency and productivity of decision-making units (DMUs) using data envelopment analysis (DEA) techniques. DEA was originally introduced by Charnes et al. [J. …

Emrouznejad, A. and E. Thanassoulis (2005). “A mathematical model for dynamic efficiency using data envelopment analysis.” Applied Mathematics and Computation 160(2): 363-378.

Emrouznejad, A. and E. Thanassoulis (2005). “A mathematical model for dynamic efficiency using data envelopment analysis.” Applied Mathematics and Computation 160(2): 363-378. In this paper we propose a data envelopment analysis (DEA) based method for assessing the comparative efficiencies of units operating production processes where input-output levels are inter-temporally dependent. One cause of inter-temporal dependence …

Emrouznejad, A. (2003). “An alternative DEA measure: A case of OECD countries.” Applied Economics Letters 10(12): 779-782. Analysis of the production efficiency of industrialized countries, questioning whether certain countries perform better than others in producing more output with the same or less inputs, is an example of the importance of estimating production relationships. In order …
