First sentence: Some personal remarks are in order, since the reader will be baffled as to how a medical statistician such as myself, a practitioner rather than a theoretician, can be a suitable person to give an overview of John Nelder's work in statistics, which has been powerful and deep, and whose importance is only 'applied', rather than 'theoretical', in the sense that it is of great utility to many practitioners in many fields.
