Abstract

In recent years, people have found the power law distribution appears in natural and human activities, even in the event of terrorism. However, In this paper we analyze the time interval distribution of terrorism events in several Asia countries, and find that not all of the time interval distributions are showing a power law distribution. The time interval distribution of terrorism events in China is exponential distribution. Through calculating burstiness parameter and memory parameter it is found that power-law distribution is origin from strong burst and the burst and memory are relatively weak corresponding to and the time interval exponent distribution of terrorism events in China.
