Description:	This volume contains a selection of the contributions presented in the 47th Scientific Meeting of the Italian Statistical Society, held at the University of Cagliari, Italy, June 2014. The book represents a small but interesting sample of 19 out of 221 papers discussed in the meeting on a variety of methodological and applied statistical topics. Clustering, collaboration networks analysis, environmental analysis, logistic regression, mediation analysis, meta-analysis, outliers in time-series and regression, pseudolikelihood, sample design, weighted regression, are themes included in the book. We hope that the overview papers, mainly presented by Italian authors, will help the reader to understand the state of art of the current international research. The forward search provides a flexible and informative form of robust regression. We describe the introduction of prior information into the regression model used in the search through the device of fictitious observations. The extension to the forward search is not entirely straightforward, requiring weighted regression. Forward plots are used to exhibit the effect of correct and incorrect prior information on inferences.
