Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Efficiencies and Rankings of Flagship UniversitiesG. Thomas SavProblem statement: Each state in the U.S. touts a premier university as the flagship of its publicly funded higher education system. With decreased government budgets and increased interest in public management reforms, these institutions are being pressured to provide evidence of and set examples for ever greater improvements in operating cost efficiencies. The problem, however, is that empirical measures of … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 20 Jan 2012 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Enhanced Russell Measure of Super-Efficiency for Ranking Efficient Units in Data Envelopment AnalysisAli Ashrafi, Azmi Bin Jaafar, Lai Soon Lee, Mohd Rizam Abu BakarProblem statement: Conventional Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) helps decision makers to discriminate between efficient and inefficient Decision Making Units (DMUs). However, DEA does not provide more information about the efficient DMUs. Super-efficiency DEA model can be used in ranking the performance of efficient DMUs. Because of the possible infeasibility of radial super-efficiency DEA model, the ranking has been limited to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 8,798 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBayesian Methods for Ranking the Severity of Apnea among PatientsNur Zakiah Mohd Saat, Kamarulzaman Ibrahim, Abdul Aziz JemainProblem statement: Studies on apnea patients are often carried out based on data obtained from the sleep study. This data is quite scarce since high cost is required for conducting the study. Bayesian method is particularly suitable for analyzing limited data as it allows for updating of information by combining the current information with the prior belief. Approach: In this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,550 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Dynamic Weight Assignment Approach for Index TermsKamel E. Haouam, Farhi MarirCurrently in the development of Informational Retrieval (IR) systems, a set of keywords represents the semantics of a text document and after assigning weights to the set of keywords, they are used for indexing, searching and retrieval purposes. The current approaches for assigning weights are provided by an IR model that is used by an IR system. The main objective … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,943 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Total Productivity PCA Model for Assessment and Improvement of Electrical Manufacturing SystemsAli Azadeh, Farid GhaderiThis study presents a framework for assessment of electrical manufacturing systems based on a total machine productivity approach and multivariate analysis. Furthermore, the total model is developed by Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and validated and verified by Numerical Taxonomy (NT) and non-parametric correlation methods, namely, Spearman correlation experiment and Kendall Tau. To achieve the objectives of this study, a comprehensive … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,270 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA New Approach Using Data Envelopment Analysis for Ranking Classification AlgorithmsA. Bazleh, P. Gholami, F. SoleymaniProblem statement: A variety of methods and algorithms for classification problems have been developed recently. But the main question is that how to select an appropriate and effective classification algorithm. This has always been an important and difficult issue. Approach: Since the classification algorithm selection task needs to examine more than one criterion such as accuracy and computational time, it … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 15 Sep 2011 · 7,443 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTRUST BASED AUTOMATIC QUERY FORMULATION SEARCH ON EXPERT AND KNOWLEDGE USERS SYSTEMSK. Sridharan, M. ChitraDue to enhance in complexity of services, there is a necessity for dynamic interaction models. For a service-oriented system to work properly, we need a context-sensitive trust based search. Automatic information transfer is also deficient when unexpected query is given. However, it shows that search engines are vulnerable in answering intellectual queries and shows an unreliable outcome. The user cannot … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 18 Feb 2014 · 6,319 accessesView PDFCite
