• Resumen

  • Este trabajo es una pequeña selección comentada de artículos y libros que, por diferentes motivos, me han influido o interesado especialmente durante mi actividad investigadora o docente. Las pretensiones son modestas: me doy cuenta de que esta selección, además de subjetiva, será necesariamente incompleta y sometida a los caprichos de la memoria, a limitaciones de espacio y al azar que me llevó a conocer unos trabajos antes que otros. Pero, sobre todo, quiero enfatizar que este artículo no debe entenderse como una especie de canon personal de “las mejores” o “más importantes” obras de la investigación estadística: no me siento capacitado para esa tarea. Tampoco es, en modo alguno, una revisión de mi trabajo investigador. Sin embargo, para poner en contexto algunas publicaciones y para explicar por qué han sido importantes para mí, he tenido que incluir bastantes referencias a mis propios artículos. Para dar una definición en positivo diría que este trabajo puede interpretarse como un pequeño homenaje a los autores y obras que me han ayudado a lo largo de los a˜ nos y también a los amigos y coautores que me han acompañado en el camino. En todo caso, estoy convencido de que mi selección de textos y artículos ha estado parcialmente guiada por aspectos “literarios”, entendiendo como tales los relacionados con una presentación elegante, atractiva y sencilla o con algún giro sorprendente que permite contemplar las cosas bajo un punto de vista distinto e iluminador, que nos hace ver sencillo y natural lo que es, en principio, complicado. Bien pensado, estas cualidades son propias también de la buena creación literaria de ficción y a˜ naden un matiz adicional a la palabra “literatura” que aparece en el título.
