Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a widely used mathematical programming technique for comparing the inputs and outputs of a set of homogenous Decision Making Units (DMUs) by evaluating their relative efficiency. The conventional DEA methods assume deterministic and precise values for the input...

The Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is a well-known Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) method that is used to identify the most attractive alternative solution among a finite set of alternatives based on the simultaneous minimization of the distance...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming approach for evaluating the relative efficiency of Decision Making Units (DMUs) in organizations. The conventional DEA methods require accurate measurement of both the inputs and outputs. However, the observed values of the input and...

The purpose of conventional Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is to evaluate the performance of a set of firms or Decision-Making Units using deterministic input and output data. However, the input and output data in the real-life performance evaluation problems are often stochastic. The...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric method for evaluating the relative efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs) on the basis of multiple inputs and outputs. Conventional DEA models assume that inputs and outputs are measured by exact values on a ratio scale. However, the...

In the conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA), all the data assumes the form of crisp numerical values. However, the observed values of the input and output data in real-world problems are sometimes imprecise or vague. Some researchers have proposed various fuzzy methods for dealing with...

Human spaceflight mission planning is a complex task with many interacting systems and mission phases. Analog missions are Earth-based science missions whose purpose is to help understand the complexities inherent in future human spaceflight missions. The goal of performing an analog mission is...
