This book introduces readers to benchmarking techniques in the stochastic environment, primarily stochastic data envelopment analysis (DEA), and provides stochastic models in DEA for the possibility of variations in inputs and outputs. It focuses on the application of theories and interpretations of the mathematical programs, which are combined with economic and organizational thinking. The book’s main purpose is to shed light on the advantages of the different methods in deterministic and stochastic environments and thoroughly prepare readers to properly use these methods in various cases. Simple examples, along with graphical illustrations and real-world applications in industry, are provided for a better understanding. The models introduced here can be easily used in both theoretical and real-world evaluations. This book is intended for graduate and PhD students, advanced consultants, and practitioners with an interest in quantitative performance evaluation.
The Operations Research (OR) is used to analyze real life descriptive problems. It helps to represent real problems related to an organization/industry/institute etc. in terms of mathematical form. The progress of any organization / industry is based on appropriate decision related to man-power management, time-management, purchasing of raw material, shipment of manufactured goods, etc. Therefore, the decision making process plays vital role for the progress of any organization. The decision can be made by judgment or by using past experience regarding behavior of system, which is not possible in all situations. Hence, it becomes necessary to take appropriate decisions based on some systematic mathematical technique which is termed as "Operations Research (OR)".
This book chooses the topic which is due to the editors' experience in modeling projects in healthcare systems. Also, the transfer of experiences is the reason why mathematical modeling and decision making in the field of health are not given much attention. To this end, the new aspect of this book is the lack of reference needed to carry out projects in the field of health for researchers whose main expertise is not modeling. Students of health, mathematics, management, and industrial engineering fields are in the direct readership with this book. Different projects in the field of healthcare systems can use the topics presented in different chapters mentioned in this book.
This proceedings volume presents new methods and applications in Operational Research and Management Science with a special focus on Business Analytics. Featuring selected contributions from the XIV Balkan Conference on Operational Research held in Thessaloniki, Greece in 2020 (BALCOR 2020), it addresses applications and methodological tools or techniques in various areas of Operational Research, such as agent-based modelling, big data and business analytics, data envelopment analysis, data mining, decision support systems, fuzzy systems, game theory, heuristics, metaheuristics and nature inspired optimization algorithms, linear and nonlinear programming, machine learning, multiple criteria decision analysis, network design and optimization, queuing theory, simulation and statistics.

The theory of revealed preference has a long, distinguished tradition in economics but lacked a systematic presentation of the theory until now. This book deals with basic questions in economic theory and studies situations in which empirical observations are consistent or inconsistent with some of the best known economic theories.
