This book provides an overview of the latest developments in the field of risk analysis (RA).

This book provides an overview of the role of statistics in Risk Analysis, by addressing theory, methodology and applications covering the broad scope of risk assessment in life sciences and public health, environmental science as well as in economics and finance.

This book provides an overview of the role of statistics in Risk Analysis, by addressing theory, methodology and applications covering the broad scope of risk assessment in life sciences and public health, environmental science as well as in economics and finance. Experimental Design plays a key role in many of these areas, therefore there is special attention paid to joining Risk Analysis and Experimental Design topics. The contributions of this volume originate from the 8th International Conference on Risk Analysis (23-26 April, 2019, Vienna). The conference brought together researchers and practitioners working in the field of Risk Analysis. The most important contributions at the conference have been refereed and developed into chapters to show the latest developments in the field.

This volume covers the latest results on novel methods in Risk Analysis and assessment, with applications in Biostatistics (which is providing food for thought since the first ICRAs, covering traditional areas of RA, until now), Engineering Reliability, the Environmental Sciences and Economics.

This book addresses the assessment and management of risks related to environmental factors such as pollution, climate change and natural hazards.Environmental risk analysis sits at the crossroads of environmental science, policy, economics, and human behaviour. It asks how natural hazards affect human systems, who bears losses, and which interventions build resilience. Marking the 10th Anniversary of the ENVECON conference, the volume comprises 16 chapters that treat risk as systemic and dynamic, shaped by hazards, exposure, and vulnerability.The topics covered focus on risk assessment through causal econometrics, game theory, time-series, and panel modelling. These approaches target a diverse range of fields, such as sectoral evidence on extreme-weather productivity impacts, environmental taxation, environmental risks, and sustainability reporting. Valuable for postgraduate students, professionals, and policymakers involved in environmental science, engineering, and public policy, the book offers management tools and policy actions for decision-making under uncertainty and sustainable development.

This book covers the latest results in the field of risk analysis. Presented topics include probabilistic models in cancer research, models and methods in longevity, epidemiology of cancer risk, engineering reliability and economical risk problems. The contributions of this volume originate from the 5th International Conference on Risk Analysis (ICRA 5). The conference brought together researchers and practitioners working in the field of risk analysis in order to present new theoretical and computational methods with applications in biology, environmental sciences, public health, economics and finance.
