Stochastic Modeling, Data Analysis & Statistical Applications
This is the second book devoted to the 3rd Stochastic Modeling Techniques and Data Analysis. (SMTDA) International Conference held in Lisbon, Portugal, June 11-14, 2014. Revised and expanded forms of papers from the conference presentations are included. SMTDA main objective is to publish papers, both theoretical or practical, presenting new results having potential for solving real-life problems. Another important objective is to present new methods for solving these problems by analyzing the relevant data. Also, the use of recent advances in different fields is promoted such as for example, new optimization and statistical methods, data warehouse, data mining and knowledge systems, computing-aided decision supports and neural computing. The first Chapter includes papers on Stochastic Modeling, First Passage Time and Copulas, whereas contributions on Statistics, Distributions, Bayesian Modeling are included in the second Chapter. Papers on Model building and Modeling of particular cases are included in the third Chapter, and Data Analysis methods, techniques and applications are presented in the fourth Chapter. Statistics in Health Sciences and Sports are presented in the fifth Chapter, along with Statistical Modelling and Applications papers included in the sixth Chapter. Chapter seven includes papers on Experimental Design and Related Topics, whereas Information Theory and Risk Analysis topics are analyzed in Chapter eight. Time Series, Signals, Networks papers along with works on Statistical Quality Control are included in Chapters nine and ten.
