This is a book about moods. Though I will define the term somewhat
more carefully in Chapter 1, it might help to note here that I use
the word "mood" to refer to affective states which do not stimulate
the relatively specific response tendencies we associate with
"emotions." Instead, moods are pervasive and global, having the
capability of influencing a broad range of thought processes and
behavior. My interest in mood was provoked initially by the
empirical and conceptual contri butions of Alice Isen and her
colleagues. What fascinated me most was the sugges tion first made
in a paper by Clark & Isen (1982) that mood seemed to affect
behavior in two very different ways, i. e., mood could
"automatically" influence the availabil ity of mood-related
cognitions and, thereby, behavior, or mood, especially of the "bad"
variety, might capture our attention in that if it were
sufficiently aversive we might consciously try to get rid of it, a
"controlled" or "strategic" response."
Nature didn't design human beings to be statisticians, and in fact
our minds are more naturally attuned to spotting the saber-toothed
tiger than seeing the jungle he springs from. Yet scienti?c
discovery in practice is often more jungle than tiger. Those of us
who devote our scienti?c lives to the deep and satisfying subject
of statistical inference usually do so in the face of a certain
under-appreciation from the public, and also (though less so these
days) from the wider scienti?c world. With this in mind, it feels
very nice to be over-appreciated for a while, even at the expense
of weathering a 70th birthday. (Are we certain that some terrible
chronological error hasn't been made?) Carl Morris and Rob
Tibshirani, the two colleagues I've worked most closely with, both
't my ideal pro?le of the statistician as a mathematical scientist
working seamlessly across wide areas of theory and application.
They seem to have chosen the papers here in the same catholic
spirit, and then cajoled an all-star cast of statistical savants to
comment on them.
