      Classical statistical methods are designed to provide good estimators when the statistical model is exact. When the model is only approximate, these estimators may perform poorly. Unfortunately, in general all we can expect is that the statistical model provides a suitable approximation of reality. Our group aims at designing reliable procedures in the situation where the model may only be approximate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
