I have received a letter from Dr. D.J. Hand, Institute of Psychiatry, De Crespigny Park, Denmark Hill, London, SE5 8AF. He (or she?) is trying to compile a list of researchers working in statistical expert systems, for use by researchers and conference organizers. If you would like to be listed, and to receive a copy, send your name, address, and a brief description of your work. -- Ken -------

I have been working in approximately this field for the last year at Bell Labs in Murray Hill with Bill Gale and Daryl Pregibon, two of the most active researchers in the field. Hand is probably aware of Bill's recent book 'AI in Statistics', where you can find a whole host of people working in this area. Personally, I have been working on a system called TESS, (Tree based Environemnt for Statistical Strategy). TESS allows an expert statistician to define, implement and critique strategies for particular data analysis tasks. So far we have implemented two strategies, one for analysing univariate batches, and one for bivariate analysis. I can send copies of Tech. Reports, if you want or if you can wait, look out for a paper called "Data Analysis as Search" in a special statistical computing edition of Technometrics in the fall. David -------
