This book is an outcome of the 1982 American Mathematical Society Short Course given at Toronto. Statistical data analysis has been receiving a great deal of attention recently as evidenced by the fact that subsets of the authors of the present volume have given workshops or short courses on this topic at various meetings in the last two years, including those of the Mathematical Association of America and ICME-IV. The interest may be due to many things — practical importance of the topic, challenging research problems in a relatively young field, need for ideas and material for teaching courses on the subject.
Clearly neither the short course nor this book can provide enough details on all of the above facets of interest. However, the different chapters do try to address these aspects, although with varying degrees of emphasis. One hope of all the authors in publishing this book is that others will use this material as a starting point and, with the help of some of the references, be able to develop workshops, short courses and other educational forums on their own.
