One of the most widely used goodness-of-fit tests is the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) family of tests which have been implemented by many computer statistical software packages. To calculate a p value (evaluate the cumulative sampling distribution), these packages use various methods including...

The chromatic scheduling problem may be defined as any problem in which the solution is a partition of a set of objects. Since the partitions may not be distinct, redundant solutions can be generated when partial enumeration techniques are applied to chromatic scheduling problems. The necessary...

One of the most widely used goodness-of-fit tests is the two-sided one sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test which has been implemented by many computer statistical software packages. To calculate a two-sided p value (evaluate the cumulative sampling distribution), these packages use various...

Efficient rational arithmetic methods that can exactly evaluate the cumulative sampling distribution of the one-sided one sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test have been developed by Brown and Harvey (2007) for sample sizes n up to fifty thousand. This paper implements in arbitrary precision the...

<title>Abstract</title> This paper introduces popular methods for ranking alternatives with multiple inputs and multiple outputs in the DEA context. The ranking methods are based on different criteria. Consequently, the ranking of the alternatives are not always the same, particularly as regards the best...

It is commonly agreed that firm performance is a multi-faceted construct. Lacking a single accepted method for performance, managers are often judged by a mechanism they do not know or understand. This paper utilises a bottom-up approach to investigate manager perceptions of the important...
