Virtual Special Issue on Biostatistics & Bioinformatics Editorial by Somnath Datta, University of Louisville Co-Editor-in-Chief of Statistics & Probability Letters

Description


STATISTICS & PROBABILITY LETTERS adopts a novel and highly innovative approach to the publication of research findings in statistics and probability. It features concise articles, rapid publication and broad coverage of the statistics and probability literature. All areas of statistics and probability, including biostatistics and statistical bioinformatics, will be covered extensively.

STATISTICS & PROBABILITY LETTERS is a refereed journal. Articles will be limited to six journal pages (13 double-space typed pages) including references and figures. Apart from the six-page limitation, originality, quality and clarity will be the criteria for choosing the material to be published in STATISTICS & PROBABILITY LETTERS. Every attempt will be made to provide the first review of a submitted manuscript within three months of submission.

The proliferation of literature and long publication delays have made it difficult for researchers and practitioners to keep up with new developments outside of, or even within, their specialization. The aim of STATISTICS & PROBABILITY LETTERS is to help to alleviate this problem. Concise communications (letters) allow readers to quickly and easily digest large amounts of material and to stay up-to-date with developments in all areas of statistics and probability.

The mainstream of LETTERS will focus on new statistical methods, theoretical results, and innovative applications of statistics and probability to other scientific disciplines, especially biostatistics and bioinformatics. Key results and central ideas must be presented in a clear and concise manner. These results may be part of a larger study that the author will submit at a later time as a full length paper to SPL or to another journal. Theory and methodology may be published with proofs omitted, or only sketched, but only if sufficient support material is provided so that the findings can be verified. Empirical and computational results that are of significant value will be published. We also plan to publish applications and case studies that demonstrate a novel use of existing techniques or have interesting innovative ideas about data collection, modelling or inference.
