ABSTRACT
In this chapter we analyse two sets of data using some of the methodology described in this book. Practical experience is important in the development of new statistical tools. Through such experience, strengths and weaknesses of methodology are exposed, and important directions for further research and development are discovered. Both for our sake and the reader’s, the examples in this chapter and other chapters in the book were not carefully selected to show off the tools described in this book. Rather, we required examples that show honestly the strengths of additive modelling as well the inherent difficulties.
