Romeu's research includes statistical education and and international
education problems. Romeu has also worked on statistical and simulation
modeling and data analysis of real life systems, of aquatic ecosystems and
with Monte Carlo studies, performance evaluation of real systems and with
reliability and life modeling data analysis.

Books Published:
================
A Practical Guide to Statistical Analysis of Material Property Data.
A State of the Art Report (SOAR). AMPTIAC Public. AMPT-14. August 1999.
(with C. Grethlein). In eight chapters and 180 pages presents and discusses
the statistics for estimation, hypothesis testing, regression and ANOVA.
In addition, Dr. Romeu has published two short story books (in
Spanish) that have been assessed by Dr. Seymour Menton, in his treatise
"Prose Fiction of the Cuban Revolution" (U.Texas Press, 1977) as one of
the two best exponents of the Cuban Exile short story. He has published
over 180 newspaper articles in the USA, Mexico and Spain, in Spanish and
in English. A selection of these articles can be found at the URL:
