There is often a large difference between methods proposed by academic researchers and those used in official statistics (numerical and non-numerical multivariate methods, Bayesian techniques, non-parametrics, etc.). Conversely, there is also some lack of interest from academic statisticians for official statistics. We will analyse the difference of scope between official and academic statisticians and try to propose ways to fill the gap.
