This tradition is rooted in parametric modeling, estimation, and testing, and optimal procedures based on these models. The paper argues for a shift in emphasis away from parametric modeling and estimation to graphical summary, from omnibus optimal techniques to those that are more context-specific, and from goals of objectivity to goals of revelation. It is suggested that the emphasis in statistical education should be rebalanced to reflect certain modern computer-based techniquesTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za družbene vede
