The Generalization Complexity Measure for Continuous Input Data by Iván Gómez, Sergio A. Cannas, Omar Osenda, José M. Jerez, Leonardo Franco

“…We first extend the original measure for its use with continuous functions to later on, using an approach based on the use of the set of Walsh functions, consider the case of having a finite number of data points (inputs/outputs pairs), that is, usually the practical case. …”

Implementation of flexible DEA structure in the management of business processes by Šegrt Slobodan, Tomić Radoljub, Anđelković Maja

“…DEA is a non-parametric technique based on linear programming for measuring the efficiency of decision-making units (DMU) with heterogeneous inputs/outputs. Generally speaking, DEA has a possible large number of inputs and outputs, and the essential problem is that it is often not clear which inputs and which outputs should be chosen when applied to a real problem, that is, when evaluating the efficiency of the system. …”
