Summary
This study enhances banking efficiency analysis using a novel network Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model. It addresses uncertainty with fuzzy numbers, offering better decision-making for banks.
Area of Science:
- Operations Research
- Financial Management
- Applied Mathematics
Background:
- Banking efficiency is crucial for economic growth.
- Traditional Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has limitations in handling internal processes and imprecise data.
- Existing models often treat Decision-Making Units (DMUs) as black boxes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a comprehensive network two-stage DEA model for assessing banking efficiency.
- To incorporate shared inputs, undesirable outputs, and external factors into the efficiency assessment.
- To extend the model to intuitionistic fuzzy environments to manage data uncertainty.
Main Methods:
- A network two-stage DEA model with shared inputs, intermediate measures, undesirable outputs, and external factors was developed.
- The model was extended using parabolic intuitionistic fuzzy numbers to handle higher-order imprecise datasets.
- The methodology was validated with an illustrative example and compared against existing methods.
Main Results:
- The proposed network two-stage DEA model effectively assesses the efficiency of banking systems.
- The use of parabolic intuitionistic fuzzy numbers successfully addresses uncertainty in efficiency measurements.
- The methodology provides optimal efficiency values for improved decision-making.
Conclusions:
- The developed network two-stage DEA model offers a more realistic and comprehensive approach to efficiency assessment in the banking sector.
- The application to Indian public sector banks demonstrates the practical utility and effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
- This research provides valuable insights for financial decision-makers to optimize banking operations.

Reason and Intuition
6.4K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment
45
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

Uncertainty: Overview
552
In analytical chemistry, we often perform repetitive measurements to detect and minimize inaccuracies caused by both determinate and indeterminate errors. Despite the cares we take, the presence of random errors means that repeated measurements almost never have exactly the same magnitude. The collective difference between these measurements - observed values - and the estimated or expected value is called uncertainty. Uncertainty is conventionally written after the estimated or expected value.

Cause and Effect
10.9K
While variables are sometimes correlated because one does cause the other, it could also be that some other factor, a confounding variable, is actually causing the systematic movement in our variables of interest. For instance, as sales in ice cream increase, so does the overall rate of crime. Is it possible that indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream could send you on a crime spree? Or, after committing crime do you think you might decide to treat yourself to a cone?

Distributed Loads: Problem Solving
645
Beams are structural elements commonly employed in engineering applications requiring different load-carrying capacities. The first step in analyzing a beam under a distributed load is to simplify the problem by dividing the load into smaller regions, which allows one to consider each region separately and calculate the magnitude of the equivalent resultant load acting on each portion of the beam. The magnitude of the equivalent resultant load for each region can be determined by calculating...

Propagation of Uncertainty from Random Error
681
An experiment often consists of more than a single step. In this case, measurements at each step give rise to uncertainty. Because the measurements occur in successive steps, the uncertainty in one step necessarily contributes to that in the subsequent step. As we perform statistical analysis on these types of experiments, we must learn to account for the propagation of uncertainty from one step to the next. The propagation of uncertainty depends on the type of arithmetic operation performed on...
