The dissertation is often that final project that marks the close of a grueling course of study. Depending on the college you attend and the major that you have been studying within, you will be expected to complete it using different methods. If a data envelopment analysis is expected of you, the following will need to be present in your submission.

1. Well Rounded Performance: this means that your included factors have a similar level of importance.


2. Weight Flexibility: This is sometimes required where an unevenness in weights leads to a few of the factors not being considered in the final result. It involves restricting some of the characteristics of the weights.


3. Technical efficiency: This is a way of calculating how efficient a DMU is through a comparison with others in a similar size range. By doing so there is little to no disruption to the result that might be accounted for by scaling issues.


4. Isotonicity: Inputs and outputs have some connection to each other which may be defined as a relationship. This should be presented in your findings in a way that does not appear erratic.


5. Piece-wise linearity: This measure relates to the efficiency frontier. In order for this sort of linearity to be achieved, there must be an approximation of the production function. This is a feature of the basic model.


6. Efficiency score: This is calculated using measurements between zero and one. The higher the rating (or closer to one) the more efficient the stated unit is considered to be. The lower the score the less efficiency is said to be displayed by the unit.


7. Discriminatory Power: This is a relative measure that deals with the extent to which there has been discrimination between DMU’s in relation to the quantity of units of lower efficiency.


8. Dual weights/multipliers: Rather than utilizing model weights which are focused on a single factor, this system requires the use of dual weights to define how input and output are weighted if a unit is composite.

The above may have been a bit difficult to read through and will likely be hard to implement within your dissertation, especially if you have had difficulty with this subject in the past. If that is the case, perhaps you should try to find professional assistance here on this website. This may make the difference between a top notch paper and one that fails to impress.
