- Response surface methodology: a review of applications to risk assessmentPublication . Oliveira, Teresa A.; Leal, Conceição; Oliveira, AmilcarRisk Analysis has assumed a crucial relevance over the past few years, particularly in dynamical systems with increasing complexity. Thanks to recent technological advances, the use of simulation techniques to estimate models has become the norm rather than the exception. These simulated models are used to predict the behavior of a system, to compute the probability of occurrence of a specific event and to predict the consequence of the said event. Uncertainty associated with the simulation, either in model parameters or in experimental data, requires its quantification as a prerequisite in probabilistic risk assessment. The computational costs of numerical simulations are often very high, thus the use of metamodels arises as a pressing necessity. Response Surface Methodology is known to be a suitable tool, both for the estimation of metamodels for the behaviors of systems and risk assessment, and for the quantification of uncertainty. A review of applications and of various aspects on the use of Response Surface Methodology in Risk Assessment Systems will be presented.
- Book of abstracts : ISBIS 2016 : meeting on statistics in business and industryPublication . Oliveira, Amilcar; Mahmoudvand, Rahim; Ravishankar, Nalini; Banks, David; Oliveira, Teresa A.This Book includes the abstracts of the talks presented at the 2016 International Symposium on Business and Industrial Statistics, held at Barcelona, June 8-10, 2016, hosted at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - Barcelona TECH, by the Department of Statistics and Operations Research. The location of the meeting was at ETSEIB Building (Escola Tecnica Superior d'Enginyeria Industrial) at Avda Diagonal 647. The meeting organizers celebrated the continued success of ISBIS and ENBIS society, and the meeting draw together the international community of statisticians, both academics and industry professionals, who share the goal of making statistics the foundation for decision making in business and related applications.

- Stochastic response surface methodology: a study in the human health areaPublication . Leal, Maria da Conceição Dias; Oliveira, Amilcar; Oliveira, Teresa A.In this paper we review Stochastic Response Surface Methodology as a tool for modeling uncertainty in the context of Risk Analysis. An application in the survival analysis in the breast cancer context is implemented with R software.
