InverseDEA (Single Academic License) - Perpetual Fixed License

 Inverse DEA (inverse data envelopment analysis) discusses such problems: among a group of decision making units (DMU),

▷ Inverse DEA can be generalized as follows

Assume that the DMU maintains its current efficiency level,

• •If we change the input level (such as increasing all inputs, decreasing all inputs, increasing some inputs while decreasing some inputs and other inputs unchanged), how much outputs could the DMU produce?
• •If we expect the output level to be changed (such as all outputs increased, all outputs decreased, some outputs increased while some outputs decreased and other outputs unchanged), how much inputs should be allocated?

Assume that we want the DMU to achieve a pre-set efficiency level,

• •If the input level is given (the inputs may be increased, decreased, or some increased, some decreased and others unchanged), how much outputs should the DMU produce?
• •If we set the output level (the outputs may be increased, decreased, or some increased, some outputs decreased and others unchanged), how much inputs should be allocated?

▷  With InverseDEA, you can solve all the left problems, including

Assume that the DMU maintains its current efficiency level,

• •Given changed inputs, compute the targeted outputs
• •Given changed outputs, compute the targeted inputs

Assume that you want the DMU to achieve a pre-set efficiency level,

• •Given changed inputs, compute the targeted outputs
• •Given changed outputs, compute the targeted inputs

The problems can be solved using

• •Input-oriented model
• •Output-oriented model

The problems can be solved under technology of

• •Constant returns to scale (CRS)
• •Variable returns to scale (VRS)
• •Non-increasing returns to scale (NIRS)
• •Non-decreasing returns to scale (NDRS)

*: Here “changed inputs/outputs” means that the inputs/outputs may be increased, decreased, some increased, some decreased and others unchanged.

**: Super-efficiency and undesirable outputs are supported.

1) Fixed license is bonded to a fixed computer. The fixed license must be registered (activated) online. After registration, the perpetual license is used offline, but the 1-year license is always used online, because every time it has a check on the license status (whether the license expires). If the fixed license is not used on the bonded computer anymore, please send us a message like "My license (Registration Code: ...) will be registered on a new computer, because ....", then you can register the license on a new computer.

2) Portable license uses a flash disk as the USB key. The license holder may work with MaxDEA on any computer the USB key is plugged into. If the USB key is damaged, we can replace the damaged disk with a new one (The cost of the new USB key and shipping fee will be charged). If the USB Key is lost, you cannot get a new USB key.
