indefensible policy choices. In this talk we first discuss a formal statistical methodology to underpin this integration consisting of sufficient conditions that ensure inference is both coherent and distributed. Under these conditions, the ranking of the available policies will then depend only on a suite of selected outputs of the component modules. Because of this property, we can characterize the inferential routines of an integrated system in a symbolic way and implement these in a computer algebra system. The second part of the talk will explore the possibilities that these symbolic methods offer to enhance the integration of the components. This talk summarizes joint work with J.Q. Smith, M.J. Barons, C. Gorgen and E. Riccomagno.

Statistical shape analysis relates to the study of random objects, where the concept of shape corresponds to the geometrical information that is invariant under translation, rotation and scale effects (Dryden and Mardia, 1998). This talk deals with the statistical analysis of a temporal sequence of landmark data and discusses the use of the offset-normal distribution for the description of time-varying shapes. For two time points, Mardia and Walder (1994) have shown that the density function of the offset-normal distribution has a rather complicated form and discuss the difficulty of extending their results to t > 2. We show that their work can be extended to a general number of time points and that the model parameters of the offset-normal shape distribution can be estimated through the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm. There are, however, several issues to consider here and there are also computational difficulties to overcome. As it will be shown, these are mainly related to the computation of the expectation of a product of quadratic forms. This is a joint work with Lara Fontanella, Department of Economics, University G. d’Annunzio (Italy) and Alfred Kume, Institute of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science, University of Kent (UK).
