Invited papers based on the presentation at the 6th international conference (MMR 2009), Moscow, Russia, June 22–26, 2009. Boston, MA: Birkhäuser (ISBN 978-0-8176-4970-8/hbk; 978-0-8176-4971-5/ebook). Statistics for Industry and Technology, 401-413 (2010).
Summary: In this paper, we discuss the basic tools for modelling in Biomedicine and Reliability. In particular, we present the divergence measures and the tests of fit while optimal modelling issues are also addressed. The last section is devoted to various applications in Reliability, Biomedicine, Hydrology, and Insurance and Actuarial Science.
