Abstract:

The ENBIS organization (European Network for Business and Industrial Statistics, www.enbis.org) is a network for statistical practitioners in European business and industrial environments and it aims to promote the widespread use of applied statistical methods. Statistics in business and industry implies the use of a wide range of quantitative methods. Statistical modelling is often a basic tool to get insight into the running process, and to find the main characteristics of a designed product. The aim of this special ENBIS issue of Statistical Modelling: an International Journal is to show new results of the use of statistical modelling in business and industry, to promote the development of these models and to stimulate practitioners to find new applications for them.
