Thefirstlineofbooksoffersconstantup-to-dateinformationonthemostrecent developmentsand methods in the fields of theoretical statistics, applied statistics, anddemography.Booksinthisseriesaresolicitedinconstantcooperationbetween thestatisticalsocietiesandneedtoshowahigh-levelauthorshipformedbyateam preferablyfromdifferentgroupssoastointegratedifferentresearchperspectives. The secondline of bookspresentsa fully peer-reviewedselection of paperson specificrelevanttopicsorganizedbytheeditors,alsoontheoccasionofconferences, toshowtheirresearchdirectionsanddevelopmentsinimportanttopics,quicklyand informally,but with a high level of quality. The explicit aim is to summarize and communicatecurrentknowledgein an accessible way.
