“Statistical and Biometrical Challenges: Theory and Applications” presents selected contributions from the meetings ICRA5 and WSMC7, held 2013 in Tomar, Portugal. The papers in this volume came from experts from around the world and cover latest scientific research into statistical, biometrical and computational methods, including some theoretical and practical results on risk analysis.The editors wish to thank and acknowledge the authors and the reviewers who have generously donated their time and expertise to prepare this publication.
