Novel statistical methods arise as a result of contact with data combined with concrete research questions. Statistical modelling has been described as the art to find a suitable mathematical framework based on probability distributions that allows the questions at hand to be answered or new ones to be posed (Davison, 2003, Statistical Models, Cambridge University Press). To this end, it is often necessary to find a pragmatic balance between parsimony and complexity.
