The purpose of this paper is to determine the problems due to abnormally low tenders (ALTs) and to develop some methods for reducing the negative effects of ALTs. In this paper, the reasons of ALTs, recommendations to eliminate ALTs were investigated. According to this investigation, it was observed that results change due to different social structures of countries. In addition to this investigation, ALT evaluation questionnaire was prepared to determine reasons of ALTs. The ALT evaluation questionnaire reached to 400 companies. 18 questions were asked to the companies. Qualitative statistical methods were used to analyze correlation between variables. Comprehensive analysis was applied to the questionnaire and reasons behind ALTs were determined. Finally, some recommendations are proposed to professionals.

Dynamic analysis of employment and domestic value added generated by foreign demand in Turkey Mıhçı, Sevinç; Akkoyunlu Wigley, Arzu; Dalgıç, Başak (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2016-4) The aim of this paper is to analyze the change in the employment generation potential of exports at the sectoral level for recent years by using the input-output methodology. Indirect and direct "wage-share" of one unit of exports are estimated by using the input-output table of 2002 and the sectoral Trade in Value Added (TiVA) statistics. Our estimation results show that the average wage content of one unit of exported product, which is used as a proxy for the employment generated by exports, decrease...
Estimation and hypothesis testing in multivariate linear regression models under non normality İslam, Muhammed Qamarul (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01) This paper discusses the problem of statistical inference in multivariate linear regression models when the errors involved are non normally distributed. We consider multivariate t-distribution, a fat-tailed distribution, for the errors as alternative to normal distribution. Such non normality is commonly observed in working with many data sets, e.g., financial data that are usually having excess kurtosis. This distribution has a number of applications in many other areas of research as well. We use modifie...
Abnormally lowest bids in public construction works Karacan, Hulusi Volkan; Gündüz, Murat; Department of Civil Engineering (2008) The purpose of this thesis is to determine the importance of abnormally low tenders for Turkey, understand the problems created by abnormally low tenders, find reasons of them, develop various methods in reducing abnormally low tender problem and determine the most appropriate method. In this thesis, reasons of abnormally low tenders in Europe and Turkey were investigated. Various recommendations were developed for solving the problem and validity of these solutions was investigated. Different results were ...
Conceptual design of fuzzy object-oriented databases Yazıcı, Adnan (1998-04-23) An important research trend in databases is to handle different types of uncertainty at conceptual level. The trend of incorporating complex objects in databases presents opportunities for representing imprecision and uncertainty that were difficult to integrate cohesively in simple database models. In this study we introduce a conceptual data model by extending ExIFO to handle both complex and uncertain, mainly fuzzy, objects and classes.
Multielectrode venous catheter mapping as a high quality constraint for electrocardiographic inverse solution Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim; YILMAZ, BÜLENT; Brooks, DH (Elsevier BV, 2002-01-01) A persistent challenge in solving inverse problems in electrocardiography is the application of suitable constraints to the calculation of cardiac sources. Whether one formulates the inverse problem in terms of epicardial potentials or activation wavefronts, the problem is physically ill-posed and hence results in numerically unstable computations. Suitable physiological constraints applied with appropriate weighting can recover useful inverse solutions. However, it is often difficult to determine the best ...
