Introduction

A familiar complaint about statisticians and applied mathematicians is that they are the possessors of a relatively small number of rather elegant hammers with which they roam the world seeking convenient nails to pound, or at least screws they can pretend are nails. One all too often hears tales of scholars who have begun to describe the details of their particular research problem to a statistician, only to have the statistician latch on to a few phrases early in the conversation and then glibly announce that the problem is an exemplar of a standard one in statistics that has a convenient, pre-packaged solution – preferably one that uses some voguish, recently developed technique (bootstrap, wavelets, Markov chain Monte Carlo, hidden Markov models,...)
