This book evolved from lectures, courses and workshops on missing
data and small-area estimation that I presented during my tenure as
the ?rst C- pion Fellow (2000-2002). For the Fellowship I proposed
these two topics as areas in which the academic statistics could
contribute to the development of government statistics, in exchange
for access to the operational details and background that would
inform the direction and sharpen the focus of a- demic research.
After a few years of involvement, I have come to realise that the
separation of 'academic' and 'industrial' statistics is not well
suited to either party, and their integration is the key to
progress in both branches. Most of the work on this monograph was
done while I was a visiting l- turer at Massey University,
Palmerston North, New Zealand. The hospitality and stimulating
academic environment of their Institute of Information S- ence and
Technology is gratefully acknowledged. I could not name all those
who commented on my lecture notes and on the presentations
themselves; apart from them, I want to thank the organisers and
silent attendees of all the events, and, with a modicum of
reluctance, the 'grey ?gures' who kept inquiring whether I was any
nearer the completion of whatever stage I had been foolish enough
to attach a date.
