This is a review to appear as a contribution to the edited volume "Spin Glass Theory Far Beyond - Replica Symmetry Breaking after 40 Years", World Scientific. It showcases a selection of contributions from the spin glass community at large to high-dimensional statistics, by focusing on three important graph-based models and methodologies having deeply impacted the field: inference of graphs (a.k.a. direct coupling analysis), inference from graphs (the community detection problem), and the dynamic cavity method, which in particular allows for inference from graphs encoding causal relations.
