conventional techniques‚ subspace based techniques‚ maximum likelihood techniques and the integrated techniques which combine property restoral techniques with subspace based techniques. Conventional methods are based on classical beam forming techniques and require a large number of elements to achieve high resolution. Subspace based methods are high resolution sub-optimal techinques which exploit the eigen structure of the input data matrix. Maximum likelihood techniques are optimal techniques which

Data Envelopment Analysis and related literature As already stated‚ a rich history of literature and research which is demonstrating the importance of processes in analyzing the performance of an organization exists (Chase‚ 1981; Chase et al.‚ 1983; Levitt‚ 1972; Roth et al.‚ 1995). Especially‚ Roth et al. (1995; here and in the following) showed that the key drivers are process capability and execution in an empirical way. It was described in their study that an inappropriate design of certain
