About the journal
Publishes theoretical and applied papers related to the different fields of statistics such as regression and variance analysis, design of experiments, foundations of statistical inference, statistical decision theory, testing hypotheses, parameter estimation, nonparametric methods, sequential procedures, time series and statistical problems for stochastic processes, and statistical data analysis. It is expected that the papers give interesting and novel contributions to the theory at a good mathematical level, or a stimulating presentation of ideas in foundations or applications.
A special section is devoted to survey papers on theory and methods in interesting areas of statistics. The journal also publishes proceedings of conferences, book reviews and announcements on related topics.
Instructions to Authors
INTRODUCTION
It is essential that authors prepare their manuscripts according to established specifications. The effectiveness of the search capabilities offered by electronic delivery will depend upon the care used by authors in preparing their manuscripts. Therefore, contributors are strongly encouraged to read these instructions carefully before preparing a manuscript for submission, and to check the manuscript for compliance with these notes before submitting it for publication.
MANUSCRIPTS
Papers should be typed with double spacing and wide (3 cm) margins on good quality paper, and submitted in triplicate to the Editor in Chief.
Submission of a paper to Statistics will be taken to imply that it represents original work not previously published, that it is not being considered elsewhere for publication, and that if accepted for publication it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in any language, without the consent of the editor and Publisher. It is a condition of acceptance by the editor of a typescript for publication that the Publisher acquires automatically the copyright in the typescript throughout the world.
Language: The language of publication is English.
Abstract: Each paper requires an abstract of 100 - 150 words summarizing the significant coverage and findings.
Keywords: Each paper must have three to six keywords.
FIGURES
All figures should be numbered with consecutive arabic numbers, have descriptive captions, and be mentioned in the text. Keep figures separate from the text, but indicate an approximate position for each in the margin.
Preparation: Figures submitted must be of a high enough standard for direct reproduction. Line drawings should be prepared in black (India) ink on white paper or on tracing cloth, with all lettering and symbols included. Alternatively, good sharp photoprints ("glossies") are acceptable. Photographs intended for halftone reproduction must be good glossy original prints, of maximum contrast. Clearly label each figure with author's name and figure number; indicate "top" where this is not obvious. Redrawing or retouching of unusable figures will be charged to authors.
Size: Figures should be planned so that they reduce to 11 cm column width. The preferred width of line drawings is 15 to 22 cm with capital lettering 4 mm high, for reduction by one-half. Photographs for halftone reproduction should be about twice the desired size.
Colour Pages: There are a limited number of colour pages within the annual page allowance. However, authors should restrict their use of colour to situations where it is necessary on scientific, and not merely cosmetic, grounds. In addition, authors may pay to publish colour illustrations, but please consult the publisher regarding cost before submission.
EQUATIONS AND FORMULAE
Mathematical equations should preferably be typewritten, with subscripts and superscripts clearly shown. It is helpful to identify unusual or ambiguous symbols in the margin when they first occur. To simplify typesetting, please use: (1) the "exp" form of complex exponential function; (2) fractional exponents instead of root signs; and (3) the solidus (/) to simplify fractions 3/4 - e.g. exp x 1/2. Please underline all mathematical symbols to be set in italic and put a wavy line under bold symbols. Other letters not marked will be set in roman type. Any material that cannot be typed (i.e., Greek letters, script letters, mathematical symbols, etc.) should be inserted using pressure-sensitized type, or drawn carefully with drafting ink.
TABLES
Number tables consecutively with roman numerals, and give each a clear descriptive caption at the top. Avoid the use of vertical rules in tables. Indicate in the margin where the typesetter should place tables.
REFERENCES
References are indicated in the text by consecutive superior arabic numbers (without parentheses). The full list should be collected and typed at the end of the paper in numerical order.
Listed references should be complete in all details, including article titles in journals. Authors initials should precede their names; journal title abbreviations should conform to Physical Abstracts style.
Examples:
1. S. Linnainmaa (1976) Taylor expansion of the Accumulated Rounding Error, BIT 16, 146 - 160.
2. M. Iri et al., (1988) Automatic Computation of Partial Derivatives and Rounding Error Estimates with Application to Large-scale Systems of Non-Linear Equations, Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics (North Holland), 24, 365 - 392.
It is assumed that, with the development of the World Wide Web (WWW), authors and/or the publisher will propose distribution of articles or parts of articles on the WWW. If the author knows the HTTP address of a referenced article on the WWW, this information should be added at the end of the reference. Please use the following style:
[www http://www.blouk.com/article.html]
where http://www.blouk.com/article.html is the HTTP address.
TEXT CALL-OUTS TO FIGURES, TABLES, SECTIONS, SCHEMES
Text call-outs to figures, tables and other elements are the basis for searching articles on electronic delivery. Therefore, proper designation of text call-outs to figures and other elements is essential to the success of electronic delivery. When referring to a figure, table or other element within an article, always call the element by its full name: "See Table 1", "Figure 1 illustrates...", "Refer to Scheme 1". Do not use ambiguous call-outs (for example, "1 illustrates...") that do not clearly denote the element being referred to.
SUBMISSION OF ARTICLES ON DISK
The Publisher welcomes article submission on disk. Disk files should be submitted with the final hard copy manuscript. The disk file and hard copy must match exactly. Tables and displayed equations may have to be rekeyed by the typesetter from your hard copy manuscript.
When typing the article, do not include design or formatting information. Type all text flush left, unjustified and without hyphenation. Do not use indents, tabs or multi-spacing. If an indent is required, please note it by a line space; also mark the position of the indent on the hard copy manuscript. Indicate the beginning of a new paragraph by typing a line space. Leave one space at the end of a sentence, after a comma or other punctuation mark, and before an opening parenthesis. Be sure not to confuse lower case letter "I" with numeral "1", or capital letter "O" with numeral "0". Distinguish opening quotes from close quotes. Do not use automatic page numbering or running heads.
Articles prepared on most word processors are acceptable. If equations and/or scientific symbols have been imported into the article from another program, please provide details of the program used and the procedures followed. If author-created macros have been used, please use them as well. Illustrations that are available in an electronic format are acceptable; please supply them on a separate disk. Please clearly indicate on the disk the file format and/or program used to produce them, and supply a high-quality hard copy of each illustration as well.
If more than one disk is submitted, please number each disk. Please mark each disk with the journal title, author name, abbreviated article title and file names. Retain a back-up copy of each disk submitted and pack the disks carefully before shipping.
SUBMISSION OF ANIMATION
Animations are limited to a time duration of 30 seconds. Animation should be submitted to the journal editor with the final manuscript, after it has completed the refereeing process. Animations in the following forms (in order of preference) can be accepted from authors:
Video tape
AVI or QuickTime files
A sequence of still images.
The following formats can be accepted:
all uncompressed formats widely used on PC, Mac and UNIX
JPEG for coloured and compressed images
TIFF with a group IV compression for black and white compressed images
FLI and FLC format from AutoDesk.
Authors who submit animations are requested to provide the following information:
Video tape - format used.
AVI or QuickTime files - version used, and system used for disk file creation.
Sequence of still images - format used, version and system used for disk file creation.
Authors who are unable to supply video tape, AVI or QuickTime files may provide the publisher with a set of sequential still images. Note that an animated sequence will consist of 13 to 15 still images per second of animation; e.g., if an animated sequence is 10 seconds in duration, it is made up of 130 images. Authors who are unable to submit in any of the above-mentioned formats are advised to contact the publisher to discuss other options with the Publisher prior to submission.
Animation should be mentioned in the text. Indicate an approximate location for the animation call-out in the margin.
PROOFS
Authors will receive page proofs (including figures) by air mail for correction, which must be returned to the typesetter within 48 hours of receipt. Please ensure that full postal address is given on the first page of the typescript, so that proofs are not delayed in the post. Authors' alterations in excess of 10% of the original composition cost will be charged to authors.
Early Electronic Offprints:
Corresponding authors can now receive their article by e-mail as a complete PDF. This allows the author to print up to 50 copies, free of charge, and disseminate them to colleagues. In many cases this facility will be available up to two weeks prior to publication. Or, alternatively, corresponding authors will receive the traditional 50 offprints. A copy of the journal will be sent by post to all corresponding authors after publication. Additional copies of the journal can be purchased at the author's preferential rate of ?5.00/$25.00 per copy.
PAGE CHARGES
There are no page charges to individuals or institutions.
Proprietary Terms/Trade Marks
When using a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark, authors must use the symbol ?or TM or alternatively a footnote can be inserted using the wording below:
This article includes a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark. Its inclusion does not imply it has acquired for legal purposes a non-proprietary or general significance, nor is any other judgement implied concerning its legal status.
