The Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), established in 1931, held a workshop and conference in December 2006, celebrating 75 years and also honoring Professor S.N. Roy, an eminent statistician. Presentations from that conference are being published in a series of volumes, of which this is number four. Emerging applications include bioinformatics, categorical data and clinical trials, econometrics, longitudinal data analysis, and microarray data analysis, among others. Twenty-seven papers deal with the analysis of large dimensional data, models and inference for directional data, characterization using variate distribution theory, estimation, testing of hypotheses problems, Bayesian methods and their impact on analysis of multivariate data, multivariate statistical methods in several real-life applications, reliability analysis, analysis of some special types of time series data, and multivariate methods in sample surveys.
