Preface to the Second Edition
This book continues in the footsteps of the First Edition in being a snap-
shot of a highly social, and therefore decidedly unpredictable, process. The
combined personal view of functional data analysis that it presents has
emerged over a number of years of research and contact, and has been
greatly nourished by delightful collaborations with many friends. We hope
that readers will enjoy the book as much as we have enjoyed writing it,
whether they are our colleagues as researchers or applied data analysts
reading the book as a research monograph, or students using it
