In this study, we examine the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and terrorist incidents that took place in Turkey during the period 1991:12 to 2003:12. By doing so we contribute to the literature by allowing for a possible nonlinear relationship between terrorism and FDI. The...

Abstract In this study, we examine the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and terrorist incidents that took place in Turkey during the period 1991:12 to 2003:12. By doing so we contribute to the literature by allowing for a possible nonlinear relationship between terrorism and...

In this paper, the iterated conditional modes optimization method of a Markov random field technique for image segmentation is generalized based on Tsallis statistics. It is observed that, for some q entropic index values the new algorithm performs better segmentation than the classical one. The...

In this study, we introduce a new nonlinear quantizer for image processing by using Tsallis entropy. Lloyd–Max quantizer is commonly used in minimizing the quantization errors. We report that the new introduced technique works better than Lloyd–Max one for selected standard images and could...
