Methods & Applications Biometrical Journal publishes papers on the development of statistical and related methodology and its applications to problems arising in all areas of the life sciences, particularly in medicine. Methodological developments should be motivated by an interesting and relevant problem from these areas that is ideally worked out as an illustrative example. * The example(s) should motivate the theoretical derivations and the development of the ideas. * The benefit of the new methods developed for the analysis of the example(s) and/or the benefit for the interpretation of the results thus obtained should be demonstrated and discussed in the paper. The new procedure(s) should also be compared with existing procedures, if applicable. * Also theoretical derivations are welcome if they are well motivated and if they are "aligned" to an example. In general, complicated or longer derivations and proofs should be shifted from the body of the paper to an app
