Efficiency Analysis and Ranking of DMUs with Fuzzy Data

In this paper, a fuzzy version of CCR model (Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes (1978)) with asymmetrical triangular fuzzy number is presented and a procedure is suggested for its solution. The basic idea is to transform the fuzzy CCR model into a crisp linear programming problem by applying an alternative -cut approach. Thereby, the problem is converted to an interval programming. In this method, instead of comparing the equality (or inequality) of two intervals, a variable is defined in the interval, not only satisfies the set of constraints, but also maximizes the efficiency value. We also propose a ranking method for fuzzy DMUs using presented fuzzy DEA approach. To demonstrate the concept, numerical examples are solved and solutions are compared with Guo and Tanaka (2001).     

Real Estate Appraisal: A Double Perspective Data Envelopment Analysis Approach

This paper proposes a new methodology for the assessment of the value range for real estate units. The theoretical basis of the methodology is built on the Data Envelopment Analysis—DEA approach, which has its original concept adapted to the case where the units under assessment consist of transactions among sellers and buyers. The proposed approach—christened Double Perspective-Data Envelopment Analysis (DP-DEA)—is applied to a database comprising the prices and features of the units under assessment. It is shown that the DP-DEA presents some specific advantages when compared to the usual regression analysis method employed in real estate value assessment.     

Recursive partition and amalgamation with the exponential family: Theory and applications

The theory of tree-growing (RECPAM approach) is developed for outcome variables which are distributed as the canonical exponential family. The general RECPAM approach (consisting of three steps: recursive partition, pruning and amalgamation), is reviewed. This is seen as constructing a partition with maximal information content about a parameter to be predicted, followed by simplification by the elimination of ‘negligible’ information. The measure of information is defined for an exponential family outcome as a deviance difference, and appropriate modifications of pruning and amalgamation rules are discussed. It is further shown how the proposed approach makes it possible to develop tree-growing for situations usually treated by generalized linear models (GLIM). In particular, Poisson and logistic regression can be tree-structured. Moreover, censored survival data can be treated, as in GLIM, by observing a formal equivalence of the likelihood under random censoring and an appropriate Poisson model. Three examples are given of application to Poisson, binary and censored survival data.

A Comparison of an Analytical Approach and a Standard Simulation Approach in Bayesian Forecasting Applied to Monthly Data from Insurance of Companies

In this paper, we apply the theory of Bayesian forecasting and dynamic linear models, as presented in West and Harrison (1997), to monthly data from insurance of companies. The total number reported claims of compensation is chosen to be the primary time series of interest. The model is decomposed into a trend block, a seasonal effects block and a regression block with a transformed number of policies as regressor. An essential part of the West and Harrison (1997) approach is to find optimal discount factors for each block and hence avoid the specification of the variance matrices of the error terms in the system equations. The BATS package of Pole et al. (1994) is applied in the analysis. We compare predictions based on this analytical approach with predictions based on a standard simulation approach applying the BUGS package of Spiegelhalter et al. (1995). The motivation for this comparison is to gain knowledge on the quality of predictions based on more or less standard simulation techniques in other applications where an analytical approach is impossible. The predicted values of the two approaches are very similar. The uncertainties, however, in the predictions based on the simulation approach are far larger especially two months or more ahead. This partly indicates the advantages of applying optimal discount factors and partly the disadvantages of at least a standard simulation approach for long term predictions.     

微观数据和宏观汇总数据在统计分析上的差异——以C-D生产函数为例

基于2008年经济普查的数据,从描述统计分析和回归分析两方面分别对微观数据和宏观汇总数据在统计分析上的差异进行了实证分析.在描述统计分析中发现,宏观汇总数据比微观数据更接近正态分布,但对数化处理后的数据并非如此;在回归分析中发现,基于微观数据和宏观汇总数据估计的生产函数,在消除异方差和多重共线性之前,无论是在生产函数的规模效应、生产要素的贡献率以及生产要素对产出的解释力度上均存在着差异,但是在消除异方差和多重共线性之后,在要素对产出的解释力度上仍存在很大差异.     

数据包络分析SBM超效率模型无可行解问题的两阶段求解法

数据包络分析是一种得到广泛应用的基于线性规划的非参数技术效率分析方法,其超效率模型是将被评价DMU从参照集中排除从而使求解得出的效率值可能大于1.超效率模型在文献中用于对有效的DMU进行排序、探测异常值、敏感性和稳定性分析、分析生产率变化的Malmquist模型、二人博弈模型等.超效率模型存在的一个缺陷是在规模收益可变的假设下会出现无可行解的问题.提出了一种基于两阶段求解的SBM超效率模型,并保持了与传统SBM超效率模型的兼容性:在传统的投入(产出)导向SBM超效率模型有可行解时,两阶段法获得的结果与之相同;在传统的投入(产出)导向SBM超效率模型无可行解时,两阶段超效率模型可以得出最接近投入(产出)导向定义的可行解.算例采用实际数据对方法进行了验证.     

Asymptotic Properties of a Class of Mixture Models for Failure Data: The Interior and Boundary Cases

We analyse an exponential family of distributions which generalises the exponential distribution for censored failure time data, analogous to the way in which the class of generalised linear models generalises the normal distribution. The parameter of the distribution depends on a linear combination of covariates via a possibly nonlinear link function, and we allow another level of heterogeneity: the data may contain "immune" individuals who are not subject to failure. Thus the data is modelled by a mixture of a distribution from the exponential family and a "mass at infinity" representing individuals who never fail. Our results include large sample distributions for parameter estimators and for hypothesis test statistics obtained by maximising the likelihood of a sample. The asymptotic distribution of the likelihood ratio test statistic for the hypothesis that there are no immunes present in the population is shown to be "non-standard"; it is a 50-50 mixture of a chi-squared distribution on 1 degree of freedom and a point mass at 0. Our analysis clearly shows how "negligibility" of individual covariate values and "sufficient followup" conditions are required for the asymptotic properties.     

Extending Mosaic Displays: Marginal,Conditional, and Partial Views of Categorical Data

Abstract

This article first illustrates the use of mosaic displays for the analysis of multiway contingency tables. We then introduce several extensions of mosaic displays designed to integrate graphical methods for categorical data with those used for quantitative data. The scatterplot matrix shows all pairwise (bivariate marginal) views of a set of variables in a coherent display. One analog for categorical data is a matrix of mosaic displays showing some aspect of the bivariate relation between all pairs of variables. The simplest case shows the bivariate marginal relation for each pair of variables. Another case shows the conditional relation between each pair, with all other variables partialled out. For quantitative data this represents (a) a visualization of the conditional independence relations studied by graphical models, and (b) a generalization of partial residual plots. The conditioning plot, or coplot shows a collection of partial views of several quantitative variables, conditioned by the values of one or more other variables. A direct analog of the coplot for categorical data is an array of mosaic plots of the dependence among two or more variables, stratified by the values of one or more given variables. Each such panel then shows the partial associations among the foreground variables; the collection of such plots shows how these associations change as the given variables vary.     

Bayesian‐type count data models with varying coefficients: estimation and testing in the presence of overdispersion

In this paper we study varying‐coefficient models for count data. A Bayesian approach is taken to model the variability of the regression parameters. Based on a Kalman filter procedure the varying coefficients are estimated as the mode of the posterior distribution. All hyperparameters, including an overdispersion parameter in the negative binomial varying‐coefficient model (NBVC), are estimated as ML‐estimators using an EM‐type algorithm. A bootstrapping test of the fixed‐coefficient hypothesis against a varying‐coefficient alternative is proposed, which is evaluated running a simulation study. The study shows that the choice of a suitable count data model is of special importance in the framework of varying‐coefficient models. The methodology is illustrated analysing the determinants of the number of individual doctor visits. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Estimating Sampling Errors in REA Survey: A Model Approach for the Synthetic Presentation of Results for Main Variables Involved in Economic Analysis

A new sample business survey for agriculture, the REA survey, and a project of integration with the FADN network (RICA in Italy) have significantly changed the production of statistical information nowadays available with reference to the agricultural sector. On the basis of this relevant information, new economic analyses are being developed on farms’ performance, agricultural households’ income and the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). In this paper the authors estimate the relationship between the levels of variables of interest and their sampling errors using models in order to improve the accessibility of the information on estimates accuracy to the final users (agricultural analysts, policy makers). The paper is the result of a joint research of the three authors. Sections 1–3 and 6 by Pizzoli, Sects. 4 and 5 by Rondinelli, Sect. 7 by Filiberti, conclusions joint to the three authors.

Control theory and the management of ecosystems: A threshold policy with hysteresis is robust

Control theory is much used in engineering to stabilize a given dynamical system at a desired equilibrium point or to confine its trajectories to a region. Extinction of species is one of the most serious problems facing fishery and, to avoid it, different policies are applied. The threshold policy (TP) is a harvesting strategy commonly used in fisheries all over the world, and also is a special and simple case of the variable structure control (VSC). In this paper, the concept of virtual equilibrium point is used to design three different kinds of threshold policies; the standard one (TP), one with delay (TPD) and finally with hysteresis and delay (TPHD), for logistic models subject to Euler as well as two different nonstandard discretization schemes. Uncertainties in the intrinsic growth rate, in the carrying capacity, in the population density, and in the effort policy as well as an overexploitation situation are considered. A time lag in the control policies is also introduced. The important novel characteristic of the TPD and TPHD is that both ensure that, even though the system is subjected to uncertainties and a period of overexploitation, the system eventually stabilizes in bounded oscillations in a desired safe region of the state space. In addition, the sustainable yield under the proposed policies is compared with that of the proportional policy proposed in [1], in order to discuss economic aspects of the proposed threshold policies.
