This study investigates the aggregate import demand behavior for Turkey using the bounds test procedure by Pesaran et. al. (2001) which is based on the estimate of an Unrestricted Error Correction Model (UECM). This technique generates robust short and long run estimates in small samples, where the integration of the variables are unknown. Using annual data over the period 1982-2002, the results of the bounds test indicate that there is a long run relationship among import demand, real income and relative prices for Turkey. Moreover, the dummy variable employed to investigate the effect of Turkey’s European Customs Union membership on import demand. The results showed the dummy variable is statistically significant and positive. The findings suggest that Customs Union has increased the import demand of Turkey.

A REPLICATION APPROACH TO INTERVAL ESTIMATION IN SIMULATION Köksalan, Mustafa Murat; BASOZ, N (1991-12-11) The authors modify an earlier approach developed for reducing the bias of the estimator for the mean response in simulation caused by the initial conditions. They try to balance the bias of the estimator in a simulation run by imposing a bias in the opposite direction in a companion run by suitably setting its initial conditions. They present analytical results for the bias of the estimator for AR(1) and M/M/s processes. They suggest making independent replications of the pairs of runs to construct a confid...
A second order decoupled penalty projection method based on deferred correction for MHD in Elsässer variable Erkmen, Dilek; Kaya Merdan, Songül; Cibik, Aytekin (Elsevier BV, 2020-06-01) © 2019 Elsevier B.V.We study the deferred correction method for the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) system written in Elsässer variables. The proposed algorithm is based on the penalty projection with grad-div stabilized Taylor Hood solutions of the Elsässer formulation. In this way, second order accuracy of the method in time is obtained through the deferred correction method with excellent mass conservation properties. For the proposed method, stability is rigorously proven and numerical experiments are presen...
A matheuristic for binary classification of data sets using hyperboxes Akbulut, Derya; İyigün, Cem; Özdemirel, Nur Evin (null; 2018-07-08) In this study, an optimization approach is proposed for the binary classification problem. A Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) model formulation is used to construct hyperboxes as classifiers, minimizing the number of misclassified and unclassified samples as well as overlapping of hyperboxes. The hyperboxes are determined by some lower and upper bounds on the feature values, and overlapping of these hyperboxes is allowed to keep a balance between misclassification and overfitting. A matheuristic, namely Iter...
An fMRI segmentation method under markov random fields for brain decoding Aksan, Emre; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Computer Engineering (2015) In this study, a specially tailored segmentation method for partitioning the fMRI data into a set of "homogenous" regions with respect to a predefined cost function is proposed. The proposed method, referred as f-MRF, employs univariate and multivariate fMRI data analysis techniques under Markov Random Fields to estimate the segments by resolving a mixture density. The univariate approach helps identifying activation pattern of a voxel independently from other voxels. In order to capture local interactions ...
A PARALLEL BACKWARD-CHAINING INFERENCE ENGINE FOR PRODUCTION SYSTEMS ABUSUOD, SM; TOLUN, MR (1992-04-24) In this paper, a new model to parallelize the backward-chaining inference technique in production systems called ParBack is presented. In this model, the data dependencies between rules are analyzed and then converted to special notations that constitute the search space. Parallelism is exploited in three directions: some processors are dedicated to perform the inference process; other processors perform processes that guide the inference process to the useful paths in the search space; and a third group of...
