Magalhães, Patrícia C.; Encarnação, Samuel; Miguel Forte, Pedro; de Araújo Teixeria, José Eduardo; Monteiro, A. M.; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Pereira, Ana M.The aim is to identify usage patterns and the main factors that influence creatine supplementation, providing a basis for future educational interventions and recommendations for safe and effective use. The study was applied to gym goers in Bragança, where a QR code for a survey was released. 158 people participated, 65 non-consumers of creatine supplementation (37.34% men; 22.78% women) and 95 consumers (15.19...

Twenty-six (30.6%) participants were male and fifty-nine (69.4%) were female. The participants had an average body mass...
Estimation of Risk-Neutral Density Surfaces
Monteiro, A. M.; Tütüncü, R. H.; Vicente, L. N.Option price data is often used to infer risk-neutral densities for future prices of an underlying asset. Given the prices of a set of options on the same underlying asset with different strikes and maturities, we propose a nonparametric approach for estimating risk-neutral densities associated with several maturities. Our method uses bicubic splines in order to achieve the desired smoothness for the estimation...
