Abstract
Theoretical work in any area of statistics can have a substantial impact on the statistical methods that we use to analyze data in that area. But to do so, the premises on which the theory is based must be sound. The premises must sensibly model the sources of variation in the data. And the premises must address the methodology as it is used in practice, and set criteria that are of genuine importance for that usage. Having set the premises, the investigator must then derive results. This requires command of the necessary technical tools.
