The previous article depicts the analysis and interpretation of the Input oriented multi-staged constant returns to scale (CRS). Output oriented multi-staged Constant returns to scale data envelopment analysis (CRS-DEA) is, however, based on a different principle.
Epidemiological studies can be defined as mathematical representations of epidemiology of disease transmissions and its associated processes (Dubé et al., 2007).
The findings for Multi-stage based CRS are analyzed and presented. The interpretations are on the basis of input-oriented multi-staged CRS DEA analysis.
In the previous article, “Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) program for measuring efficiency” the process to download Data Envelopment Analysis program (DEAP) was explained and the case problem in hand was defined. The first step is to understand how to import data to DEAP.
India constitutes about 17.1% of the total world population (Korotayev, Goldstone, & Zinkina, 2015). According to the 2011 census, 64.8% of the total population is settled in the rural regions of the country (Bongaarts & Sinding, 2011).
Allergic reactions or allergies are on the rise in both developing and developed nations with common allergies affecting 10-30% of the world population at any given point of time in their lives (Ring 2012). Asthma and allergic rhinitis are among the common air-borne allergic reactions affecting nearly 300-500 million people around the world (Pawankar et al. 2014). Furthermore, food (nearly 400 million), and drug-induced allergic reactions (1/10th of the world population) are prevalent in different parts of the world (Pawankar et al. 2014). Since the prevalence has increased to such an extent, allergies should be regarded as major health concerns.
In order to understand the process of using National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) for extraction of gene information for bioinformatics studies, the author uses case example of Transforming Growth Factor beta 1 (TGFβ1) gene which encodes for the TGFB1 protein found in humans.
Textile dyes are artificial or natural substances used to dye fabric. Artificial dyes are one of the worst contributors to soil pollution as they contain mutagenic, cytotoxic, cancer and allergy causing properties (Khandare & Govindwar 2015).
