Intertemporal decision making and childless couples.

This book includes most of the scientific contributions that had to be presented at the 50th Meeting of the Italian Statistical Society. It is organized into 49 chapters corresponding to 15 specialized, 23 solicited sessions, and to 11 general topics for contributed papers and posters. All 268 contributions provide a wide overview of the state-of-the-art of the subjects, from methodological and theoretical contributions, to applied works and case studies. The result is a very lively picture of the Italian statistical community with its international connections.
