title: [Current developments in biostatistics].
abstract: Recent developments in biostatistics in three key areas: survival analysis of censured data, generalised linear models for correlated data, Bayesian modelling of complex data, are presented. Particular emphasis is placed upon illustrating common trends in these areas, in particular advances in computer intensive methods, the development of unifying modelling structures and the increasing variety of complex biomedical problems which can be realistically analysed.
