Some Reflections on the Current State of Statistics

Abstract: Abstract Despite the kind invitation from Professor Di Bacco, it was not possible for me to give some lectures at the Summer School on Bayesian methods in biology and medicine, but I have much pleasure in accepting his second invitation to write an introductory note to this book. Approaching eighty, it is not sensible to pretend that anything I say is new; rather let me turn to a topic where experience may be more important than originality, and say something about how I view statistics today.
