13 Data Envelopment Analysis Random Data Introducing Randomness Introducing Randomness X, Y are random matrices PPS random production possibility sets α [0; 1) tolerance (risk) level (sufficiently small) LAND, LOVELL, THORE (1993), COOPER, HUANG, LI (1996), COOPER, HUANG ET AL (1998), COOPER, DENG, HUANG, LI (2002), COOPER, HUANG, LI (2004) Definition 4 DMU 0 is not stochastically dominated in its efficiency wrt PPS I if λ {0, 1} K with λ k = 1 we have P {Xλ x 0, Yλ y 0 } α if X, Y are continuous we don t need at least one strict notion Michal Houda Chance-constrained DEA 12 / 21

14 Stochastic 0-1 DEA Model Stochastic extension of the additive 0-1 model β := max P {Xλ x 0, Yλ y 0 } DMU 0 is stochastically dominated β > α Recall PPS I = { (x k, y k ) } K k=1 (random discrete production set) Michal Houda Chance-constrained DEA 13 / 21

16 Stochastic Extension to BCC Model Joint Stochastic Efficiency Definition 5 1 (x, y ) PPS C is α-stochastically efficient wrt PPS C if λ 0 with k λ k = 1 we have P {Xλ x, Yλ y } α 2 the set of all α-stochastically efficient points is called α-stochastically efficient frontier of PPS C 3 DMU 0 is α-stochastically efficient wrt PPS C if λ {0, 1} K with λk = 1 we have P {Xλ x 0, Yλ y 0 } α Recall PPS C = { (x, y) x = Xλ, y = Yλ, λ k = 1, λ 0 } (random) Michal Houda Chance-constrained DEA 15 / 21

17 Stochastic Extension to BCC Model Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for Stochastic Efficiency Testing efficiency of DMU 0 Proposition 6 (sufficient condition) If P{1 T (Xλ x 0 ) < 1 T (Yλ y 0 )} α then DMU 0 is α-stochastically efficient Proposition 7 (necessary condition) If DMU 0 is α-stochastically efficient then λ 0 with λ k = 1 and P{x i λ < x i0 } 1 ϵ i (inputs) P{y j λ > y i0 } 1 ϵ j (outputs) then P{1 T (Xλ x 0 ) < 1 T (Yλ y 0 )} α Michal Houda Chance-constrained DEA 16 / 21

18 Stochastic Extension to BCC Model Joint Chance-Constrained Efficiency Almost 100% Confidence Chance-Constrained Problem β := max P{1 T (Xλ x 0 ) + 1 T (y 0 Yλ) < 0} subject to P{x i λ < x i0 } 1 ϵ i (inputs) P{y j λ > y i0 } 1 ϵ j (outputs) λ 0, λ k = 1 Proposition 8 1 If DMU 0 is α-stochastically efficient then β α 2 If β > α then DMU 0 is not α-stochastically efficient Michal Houda Chance-constrained DEA 17 / 21

19 Stochastic Extension to BCC Model Joint Chance-Constrained Efficiency Example: normally distributed outputs let Y follow multivariate normal distribution; denote X := EX, Ȳ := EY, and σ2 j (λ) := var(yt j λ y j0) β := min 1 T (Xλ x 0 ) + 1 T (ȳ 0 Ȳλ) + σ 0(λ)Φ ( 1) (α) subject to x i λ x i0 i (inputs) ȳ j λ + σ k (λ)φ ( 1) (ϵ) ȳ j j (outputs) λ 0, λ k = 1 Proposition 9 1 If DMU 0 is α-stochastically efficient then β 0 2 If β < 0 then DMU 0 is not α-stochastically efficient Michal Houda Chance-constrained DEA 18 / 21

20 Marginal Chance-Constrained DEA E-model for BCC COOPER, DENG, HUANG, LI (2002, 2003): E-model for BCC max ϕ + ϵ ( j s + j + i s i ) subject to P{x i λ + s i x i0 } 1 α i (inputs) P{y j λ s + j ϕy i0 } 1 α j (outputs) λ 0, λ k = 1 (8) Definition 10 DMU 0 is α-stochastically DEA efficient if 1 ϕ = 1 2 s + = s = 0 Michal Houda Chance-constrained DEA 19 / 21

21 Marginal Chance-Constrained DEA Normally Distributed Outputs let Y follow multivariate normal distribution; let Ȳ := EY, and σ2 j (ϕ, λ) := var(yt j λ ϕy j0) Then the (nonlinear) DEA problem to solve is max ϕ + ϵ ( j s + j + i s i ) subject to x i λ + s i = x i0 i (inputs) ȳ T j λ + Φ ( 1) (α)σ j (ϕ, λ) s + j = ϕȳ j0 j (outputs) λk = 1, λ k 0, s i, s + j 0 (9) (DEA problem with adjusted outputs) We can use second-order cone programming approximation scheme to find the upper and lower bounds for the problem (cf CHENG, HOUDA, LISSER (2014)) Michal Houda Chance-constrained DEA 20 / 21
