FINDING THE REFERENCE SET OF A DECISION MAKING UNIT
JAHANSHAHLOO, G. R.; SHIRZADI, A.; MIRDEHGHAN, S. M. - In: Asia-Pacific Journal of Operational Research (APJOR) 25 (2008) 04, pp. 563-573
In this paper we propose a method for finding the reference set of a decision making unit (DMU), without chasing down all alternative optimal solutions of the envelopment form, which is a strong degenerate problem. The reference set is useful as a benchmark for an inefficient DMU, for...

The use of percentiles and percentile rank classes in the analysis of bibliometric data: Opportunities and limits
Bornmann, Lutz; Leydesdorff, Loet; Mutz, Rüdiger - In: Journal of Informetrics 7 (2013) 1, pp. 158-165
Percentiles have been established in bibliometrics as an important alternative to mean-based indicators for obtaining a normalized citation impact of publications. Percentiles have a number of advantages over standard bibliometric indicators used frequently: for example, their calculation is not...
