Review: The twenty-one papers in this book are the result of a request to the authors to describe the current state of statistical methodology in different areas of application and to mention what, in their opinion, should be the future lines of research in statistics. Topics include: data mining and machine learning; categorical data analysis; statistical education and communications among teachers and students; statistical concepts as solutions to social problems; new methods of reasoning, designing experiments and decision making; the sequential bootstrap; and higher-order asymptotics.
