Abstract
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a data-oriented tool that was primarily used for measuring relative efficiency. DEA has been regarded as a non-parametric approach to estimating production functions where multiple inputs and multiple outputs are present. In recent years, DEA has been applied in general benchmarking settings where a set of performance metrics are used to construct a DEA-based benchmarking index. This talk introduces some DEA uses in the area of data mining where a large amount of data are available.
About the speaker
Joe Zhu博士是南京审计学院特聘教授、美国Worcester Polytechnic Institute(WPI)Robert A. Foisie商学院正教授,数据包络分析(DEA)与绩效评估方法等研究领域公认的国际顶级专家。研究兴趣主要集中于运作管理、生产力研究、绩效评估等方向,特别对于数据包络分析(Data Envelopment Analysis,DEA)理论方法的发展和应用做出了突出的贡献。
Joe Zhu教授在商务分析以及生产力评价领域国际TOP期刊上发表学术论文100多篇,在Springer与Wiley授权出版专著6部,主编7部,其中《绩效评价与标杆管理的定量模型》专著已出第三版,与数据包络方法(DEA)创始人之一的Cooper教授合著的经典《DEA手册》也已出版第二版,并编制了DEAFrontier计算软件。其论文及专著Google Scholar统计总被引超过10,000次,主要学术成果发表于Management Science,Operations Research,Sloan Management Review,IIE Transactions,Naval Research Logistics,European Journal of Operational Research,Journal of Operational Research Society,Annals of Operations Research,OMEGA,Socio-Economic Planning Sciences,Journal of Productivity Analysis及INFOR等管理科学、运筹学和运作管理领域最富盛名的刊物。Joe Zhu教授被列入DEA相关领域学术成果最多的前12位学者之一,同时就h-index和g-index而言,他也是DEA研究方向最具学术影响力的前10位学者之一。
近五年来,Joe Zhu教授以DEA方法为基础,开创性地解析复杂系统内部绩效结构,深入研究非同质决策单元间效率评价以及决策单元间效率博弈,构建一系列生产力评价模型并系统提出相应求解算法;从现实需求出发,基于上述模型,对商业银行、对冲基金等金融机构、电力公司、医疗服务与电信服务等展开基于绩效的平衡标杆管理,促进组织绩效提升。
