Utility Functions
A fundamental requirement in applying operations research
models is the identification of a "utility function" whichcombines all variables relevant to a decision problem into asingle variable which is to be optimized. Underlying theconcept of a utility function is the view that it should representthe decision-maker's perceptions of the relative importance ofthe variables involved rather than being regarded as uniformacross all decision-makers or externally imposed.
The problem, of course, is that the resulting utility functionsmay bear no relationship to each other and it is therefore
difficult to make comparisons from one decision context toanother. Indeed, not only may it not be possible to comparetwo different decision-makers but it may not be possible tocompare the utility functions of a single decision-maker fromone context to another.

Cost/Effectiveness
A traditional way to combine variables in a utility
function is to use a cost/effectiveness ratio, called an
"efficiency" measure. It measures utility by the "cost
per unit produced". On the surface, that would appearto make comparison between two contexts possible by
comparing the two cost/effectiveness ratios. The
problem, though, is that two different decision-makers
may place different emphases on the two variables.
-

Cost/Effectiveness
It also must be recognized that effectiveness will usuallyentail consideration of a number of products and servicesand costs a number of sources of costs. Cost/effectivenessmeasurement requires combining the sources of cost intoa single measure of cost and the products and services
into a single measure of effectiveness. Again, the problem of different emphases of importance
must be recognized. This is especially the case for theseveral measures of effectiveness. But it may also be thecase with the several measure of costs, since some costs
may be regarded as more important than others eventhough they may all be measured in dollars. When somecosts cannot be measured in dollars, the problem iscompounded.
-
8/2/2019 Lida2007 Hayes
7/128
Cost/Effectiveness
More generally, instead of costs and effectiveness, the
variables may be identified as "input" and "output".
The efficiency ratio is then no long characterized as
cost/effectiveness but as "output/input", but the issues
identified above are the same.
-
8/2/2019 Lida2007 Hayes

Interpretation for Libraries
This issue can be illustrated by evaluating libraryperformance. Effectiveness here is the extent to whichlibrary services meet the expectations or goals set bythe organization served. It is likely to be measured by
several services which are the outputs of libraryoperationsmaking a collection available for use,circulation or other uses of materials, answering ofinformation questions, instructing and consulting.
Inputs are represented by acquisitions, staff, and space,to which evident costs can be assigned, but they are alsorepresented by measures of the populations served.
-

Interpretation for Libraries
Efficiency measures the librarys ability to transformits inputs (resources and demands) into production ofoutputs (services). The objective in doing so is tooptimize the balance between the level of outputs and
the level of inputs. The success of the library, like thatof other organizations, depends on its ability to behaveboth effectively and efficiently.
The issue at hand, then is how to combine the several
measures of input and output into a single measure ofefficiency. The method we will examine is that called"data envelopment analysis".

Data Envelopment Analysis
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) measures the relativeefficiencies of organizations with multiple inputs andmultiple outputs. The organizations are called thedecision-making units, or DMUs.
DEA assigns weights to the inputs and outputs of a DMUthat give it the best possible efficiency. It thus arrives at aweighting of the relative importance of the input andoutput variables that reflects the emphasis that appears tohave been placed on them for that particular DMU.
At the same time, though, DEA then gives all the otherDMUs the same weights and compares the resultingefficiencies with that for the DMU of focus.

Data Envelopment Analysis
If the focus DMU looks at least as good as any otherDMU, it receives a maximum efficiency score. But if
some other DMU looks better than the focus DMU, the
weights having been calculated to be most favorable to
the focus DMU, then it will receive an efficiency score
less than maximum.

Graphical Illustration To illustrate, consider seven DMUs which each have
one input and one output: L1 = (2,2), L2 = (3,5), L3 =(6,7), L4 = (9,8), L5 = (5,3), L6 = (4,1), L7 = (10,7).

Graphical Illustration
DEA identifies the units in the comparison set which lieat the top and to the left, as represented by L1, L2, L3,and L4. These units are called the efficient units, andthe line connecting them is called the "envelopmentsurface" because it envelops all the cases.
DMUs L5 through L7 are not on the envelopmentsurface and thus are evaluated as inefficient by theDEA analysis. There are two ways to explain theirweakness. One is to say that, for example, L5 could
perhaps produce as much output as it does, but withless input (comparing with L1 and L2); the other is tosay it could produce more output with the same input(comparing with L2 and L3).
-
8/2/2019 Lida2007 Hayes
14/128
Graphical Illustration
Thus, there are two possible definitions of efficiencydepending on the purpose of the evaluation. One mightbe interested in possible reduction of inputs (in DEAthis is called the input orientation) or augmentation ofoutputs (the output orientation) in achieving technicalefficiency. Depending on the purpose of the evaluation,the analysis provides different sets of peer groups towhich to compare.
However, there are times when reduction of inputs oraugmentation of outputs is not sufficient. In our
example, even when L6 reduces its input from 4 unitsto 2, there is still a gap between it and its peer L1 in theamount of one unit of output. In DEA, this is called the"slack" which means excess input or missing outputthat exists even after the proportional change in the
input or the outputs.

Graphical Illustration
This example will be used to illustrate the several forms
that the DEA model can take.
In each case, the results presented are based on the
implementation of DEA that will be discussed later in
this presentation. It is an Excel spreadsheet using the
add-in Solver capability.
The spreadsheet is identical for all of the forms, but the
application of Solver differs in the target optimized and
in the values to be varied, so for each form the target
and the values to be varied will be identified.

The Basic EDA Concept
Assume that each DMU has values for a set of inputsand a set of outputs.
Choose non-negative weights to be applied to the inputsand outputs for a focus DMU so as to maximize theratio of weighted outputs divided by weighted inputs
But do so subject to the condition that, if the sameweights are applied to each of the DMUs (including thefocus DMU), the corresponding ratios are not greaterthan 1
Do that for each DMU.
The resulting value of the ratio for each DMU is itsEDA efficiency. It is 1 if the DMU is efficient and lessthan 1 if it is not.

Variations of DEA Formulation
But first, it is necessary to identify several sources ofvariation in the basic DEA formulation, leading to avariety of different models for implementation:
We will now examine and illustrate each of thosesources of variation.
(1) Formulation Primal Form Dual Form
(2) Orientation Input Minimization Output Maximization(3) Returns to Scale Fixed Returns Variable Returns
(4) Discretionary? Discretionary Variables Non-discretionary Variables
(5) Models Additive Multiplicative

8/2/2019 Lida2007 Hayes
21/128
(1) Formulation: Primal or Dual
The first source of variation is interpretation of thedisplay for the linear programming model.
One interpretation, called the Primal, treats the rows of
the display as representing the model.
The other interpretation, called the Dual, treats thecolumns as representing the model.
Lets examine each of those in turn.

The rows of this display are interpreted as follows:
(M) Maximize W = Yk

8/2/2019 Lida2007 Hayes
23/128
The Dual Formulation
The Columns of this display are interpreted as follows:
(m) Minimize W = -a - b subject to
(1) Yja >= Yk (2) Xj - b >= -Xk
(m) Yj -Xj 0a -I -I
b -I -I
>= >=
Yk - Xk
-
8/2/2019 Lida2007 Hayes
24/128
The Choice of Formulation
Since the results from the two formulation are equal,though expressed differently, the choice between them
is based on computational efficiency or, perhaps, ease
of interpretation.
The Dual form is more efficient in computation if the
number of DMUs is large compared to the number of
input and output variables. Note that the Primal form
entails n conditions (n being the number of DMUs)
which, in the Dual form, are replaced by just m + s
conditions (m being the number of input variables ands, the number of output variables)
-

Illustration
To illustrate, consider the example previously presented. Thetarget to be minimized in the Dual form is W =ab. The
values to be varied are (, a, b), or (,. The following table shows the solution for both forms:
X Y W a b L1 2 2 - 1.33 1.33 = 0.67 1 1.67L2 3 5 0.00 0.00 = 00 1 1.67L3 6 7 - 3.00 3.00 = 00 1 1.67L4 9 8 - 7.00 7.00 = 00 1 1.67L5 5 3 - 5.33 5.33 = 1 1.67L6 4 1 - 5.67 5.67 = 1 1.67L7 10 7 - 9.67 9.67 = 1 1.67
-
8/2/2019 Lida2007 Hayes
26/128
Illustration
Graphically, the results are as follows:
The maximum value for W, over all cases, is at L2, whereW = 0 and the ratio of Y/X is a maximum. The slack foreach other case is the vertical distance to the line which
goes from the origin (0,0) through L2 (3,5).

(2) Orientation: Input or Output
The second source of variation, orientation, providesthe means for focusing on minimizing input or on
maximizing output.
These represent two quite different objectives in
making assessments of efficiency. Is the objective to be
minimally expensive (e.g., to save money) or is it to be
maximally effective?

Extensions to includea priori Valuations
To this point, DEA has been essentially a mathematical process inwhich the data for input and output are taken as given, withoutfurther interpretation with respect to the reality of operations.
But reality needs to be recognized, so there are several extensions
that can be made to the basic DEA model, applicable to any of thevariations.
They fall into seven categories:
(1) Discretionary and Non-discretionary Variables
(2) Categorical Variables
(3)A priori restrictions on Weights (4) Relationships between Weights on Variables
(5)A priori assessments of Efficient Units
(6) Substitutability of Variables
(7) Discrimination among Efficient Units
-
8/2/2019 Lida2007 Hayes
47/128
Discretionary & Non-discretionary
In identifying input and output variables, one wants toinclude all that are relevant to the operation. Forexample, the level of output is determined not only bywhat the unit itself does but by the size of the market towhich the output is delivered.
The result, though, is that some relevant variables, suchas the size of the market, are not under the control ofmanagement. Such variables, called non-discretionary,are in contrast to those that are under managementcontrol, called discretionary.
In assessing efficiency, all variables are considered, butin determining the criterion function to be maximized orminimized, only the discretionary variables are included.
-
8/2/2019 Lida2007 Hayes
48/128
Categorical Variables
In the DEA model as so far presented, the variables aretreated as essentially quantitative, but sometimes one
would like to identify non-quantitative variables, such
as ordinal or nominal variables.
For example, one might like to compare institutions ofthe same type, such as public or private universities.
This is accomplished by introducing categorical
variables containing numbers for order or identifiers
for names.
-
8/2/2019 Lida2007 Hayes
49/128
A priori Restrictions on Weights
In the model as presented, the weights are limited onlyby the requirements that they be non-negative.
However, there may be reason to require that weightsbe further limited.
For example, it may be felt that a given variablemustbe included in the assessment so its weight must have atleast a minimal value greater than zero. This mightrepresent an output that is essential in assessment.
As another example, a variable may be such a large
weight would over-emphasize itsa priori importance sothat there should be an upper limit on the weight. Thismight represent an output variable that is counter-productive.
-
8/2/2019 Lida2007 Hayes
50/128
Relationships between Weights
Sometimes,a priori knowledge may imply that there is
a necessary relationship among variables. For example,
an output variable may absolutely require some level of
an input variable. Sucha priori knowledge may be expressed as a ratio
between the weights assigned to the related variables.
-
8/2/2019 Lida2007 Hayes
51/128
A priori assessments of Efficient Units
Some DMUs may be regarded, based ona priori
knowledge, as eminently efficient or notoriously
inefficient. While one might argue about the validity of
such a priori judgments, frequently they must berecognized.
To do so, additional conditions may be imposed upon
the choice of weights. For example, the condition
Yj/nXj
-
8/2/2019 Lida2007 Hayes
52/128
Substitutability of Variables
A still unresolved issue is the means for representing
substitutability of variables. For example, two input
variables may represent two different type of labor
which may be, to some extent, substitutable for eachother.
How is such substitutability to be incorporated?
Lets explore this issue a bit further since, by doing so,
we can illuminate some additional perspectives on thebasic DEA model.
-
8/2/2019 Lida2007 Hayes
53/128
Substitutability of Variables
For simplicity in description, consider two input variables
and a single output variable that has the same value forall DMUs. The graphic representation of the envelopmentsurface can now best be presented not in terms of therelationship between output and input, as previouslyshown, but between the variables of input.
The two variables are Professional Staff and Non-Professional Staff. The assumption is that they arecompletely substitutable and that physicians differ only intheir styles of providing service, represented by the mix
of the two means for doing so. The efficient DMUs are located on the red envelopment
surface, which shows the minimums in use of variables.

Extensions in DEA
Covers (1) new measures of efficiency, (2) new models,
and (3) new implementations.
The TDT measure of relative efficiency takes thecriterion measure (weighted output/weighted input)relative to the maximum for that measure
The Pareto-Koopman measure applies the Paretocriterion (no variables can be improved without worseningothers)
The BCC model (variable returns to scale) is presented.
Congestion arises when excess inputs interfere withoutputs. It thus represents relationships among variables.

Generalized DEA model
Essentially, this paper does what I have been trying to do in
implementation of DEA.
It does so by identifying the primal and dual (P and D), thetwo returns to scale (fixed and variable), and three binaryparameters (d1, d2, d3) in the equations
d1 = d1eT + d1d2(-1)d3n+1 (for the dual)d1d2(-1)d30(for the primal)Values of (d1, d2, d3) include:(0,-,-) the CCR model
(1,0,-) the BCC model(1,1,0) the FG model
(1,1,1) the ST model
The relationships among the several models are discussed.

This paper supplements the prior one. It shows that in

optimal solutions for the dual (i.e., multipler)
formulation invariant under translation.

Duality, classification and slack
This paper considers the role of slacks especially in the
context of radial measures of efficiency. The effect ofalternative optima is to make slacks difficult to dealwith; the theory presented resolves the difficulties.
The CCT model presented eliminates the need for non-Archimedean models and permits dealing with zero
values for the variables.
The concept of an admissible virtual multiplier isintroduced and the maximizing virtual multiplier w* isthe basis for categorizing efficient DMUs into 3 groups:
Extreme Efficient: all variables are included in w* Efficient: the variables in w* are all positive
Weak efficient: w* has at least one zero variable
Similarly for non-efficient DMUs

Complementarity Slackness Solutions
This paper proposes use of primary-dual interior-point
methods for solution of the DEA linear programmingproblem (an iterative process that generates interior pointthat converge to the solution).
The primary form minimizes Cx; the dual formmaximizes By.
The condition for solution is that Cx = By, called thecomplementarity slackness condition.
These methods attempt to solve the primary and duallinear programs simultaneously.
Solutions are classified as radially efficient or inefficientusing the CCT model.

with others without the technology; for those with the
technology, comparison is made with all DMUs.
The result is a basis for assessment of the impact of the

software production
Input to software production is taken as cost; outputs assize (measure by function points), quality (measured
by defects or rework hours), and time to market.
The DEA is compared to performance ratio analyses,
such as Cost/Function, Defects/Function, Days/Function. Then, constraints on the weights are introduced. One set
of constraints consisted of bounds on ratios of weights. A
second set of constraints consisted of tradeoffs between
variables, again represented by bounds on ratios.

Externalities (e.g., mandated quotas)
Issues of equity These constraints are then incorporated into DEA

Baseball batters
Traditional methods for evaluating batters include
fixed and variable weight statistics (homers, batting
average, slugging average, RBI, etc.). The point in this
article is that use of DEA allows one to determine the
effect of changes over time. Another effect of interest is noise. To correct for
noise, the DEA model derates the data for each
player by a factor based on the players standard
deviation for each variable

This paper introduces a cost function into DEAanalysis as the means for calculating a comparativeadvantage or disadvantage as the difference betweenthe costs of input and the income from output.
It interprets the weights in each DMUs optimum as
prices for the respective inputs and outputs. The resultis virtual cost, revenue, and profit. The profit (orloss) is then compared with the maximum profitobtained by a best practice unit and that of theevaluated unit.
For an efficient unit, the comparison is between thevirtual profit of the valuated unit and the maximumprofit across all other units.

DMUs. Each tries to optimize against the other.

The use of DEA in regulatory practice is discussed. Theunderlying game is represented by a series of steps:
Costs and demands for service are observed oridentified
Schemes are proposed by the regulator
The schemes are rejected or accepted by the DMUs
Costs are selected by the DMUs
Data on performance are observed
Compensations are paid
The aim of the regulator is to minimize the expectedcosts of making the DMUs accept, fulfil, and minimizecosts.
The use of DEA is to determine the best practce norms.
