The Current Position of Statistics: A Personal View

D.R. Cox

International Statistical Review, 1997, vol. 65, issue 3, 261-276

Abstract: Some current aspects of statistical work are reviewed under three broad headings, applied probability modelling, design of investigations and statistical analysis and interpretation of data. The emphasis is on applications in science and science‐based technology, although some incidental comments are made about statistics in public affairs. While no technical details are given, there is some discussion of potential fields for development. The choice of topics reflects the author's personal interests.
