About the journal
Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, the official journal of the International Association of Statistical
Computing (IASC), is an international journal dedicated to the dissemination of methodological research and applications in the areas of computational statistics and data analysis. The journal consists of three refereed sections, and a fourth section dedicated to news on statistical computing. The refereed sections are divided into the following subject areas:
I) Computational Statistics - Manuscripts dealing with the explicit impact of computers on statistical methodology (e.g., algorithms, computer graphics, computer intensive inferential methods, data exploration, evaluation of statistical software, expert systems, neural networks, parallel computing, statistical databases, statistical systems).
II) Statistical Methodology for Data Analysis. - Manuscripts dealing with data analysis strategies and methodologies (e.g., classification, data exploration, density estimation, design of experiments, model free data exploration, pattern recognition / image analysis, robust procedures).
III)Special Applications - Manuscripts at the interface of statistics and computers (e.g., comparison of statistical methodology, computer-assisted instruction for statistics, simulation experiments).
The fourth section, (IV) the Statistical Software Newsletter ("SSN")- The rapid exchange of informational articles and news items (e.g., articles related to the development, usage and validation of statistical software; software reviews; review of books related to computational statistics / data analysis; announcements of new software products / releases; comparison of software products; software tutorials). Announcements and meetings, and news items from the IASC and the ASA Section of Computing and Graphics may also be contributed to this section. Although not peer-reviewed, contributions to the SSN are screened for appropriateness and edited for accuracy.
On occasion, special events or topics will be published as a Special Issue of CSDA, prepared by a Guest Editor.
Instructions to Authors
Guide for Authors
A. Journal Portion (Section I - III)
Submission of articles
There are three options available for CSDA:
- Authors are encouraged to submit their papers electronically by using online manuscript submission at http://www.elsubmit.com/esubmit/comsta. Authors interested in online submission are requested to go to the website and upload their manuscript and its associated artwork. An electronic (PDF) proof is generated and the reviewing process is carried out using that PDF. The PDF file may be edited after acceptance to follow journal standards. Authors and editors send and receive all correspondence by email via the website and no paper correspondence is performed.
- Authors can also submit their ps or pdf file to the appropriate co-editor via e-mail.
- Alternatively, authors can send four copies of their paper (including one original of the figures) to the appropriate co-editor.
For names and addresses of the co-editors, please refer to the list of editors in each issue of the journal or on the journal's homepage.
Please submit, with the manuscript, the names and addresses of three to five potential referees.
General
Articles must be written in good English.
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the Publisher.
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. A letter will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript. A form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided. If excerpts from other copyrighted works are included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Elsevier Science has preprinted forms for use by authors in these cases: contact ES Global Rights Department, P.O. Box 800, Oxford, OX5 1DX, UK; phone: (+44) 1865 843830, fax: (+44) 1865 853333, e-mail:
permissions@elsevier.co.uk.
The focus of the papers submitted to CSDA must include either a computational or data analysis component. Papers, which are purely theoretical are not appropriate for CSDA, and will be returned to the authors. Whenever appropriate the manuscript should present an illustrative example of application.
Manuscripts describing simulation studies must a) be thorough with regard to the choice of parameter settings, b) not over-generalize the conclusions, c) carefully describe the limitations of the simulations studies, d) and should guide the user regarding when the recommended methods are appropriate. In addition, it is recommended that the author(s) indicate why comparisons cannot be made theoretically and why therefore simulations are necessary.
Papers reporting results based on computations should provide enough information so that readers can evaluate the quality of the results, as well as descriptions of pseudo-random-number generators, numerical algorithms, computer(s), programming language(s), and major software components that were used.
In some cases, articles submitted to CSDA may be more appropriate for the SSN. In this case a recommendation may be made by the co-editor that a modified (e.g. revised and shortened) version of the manuscript should be submitted to the SSN. The author of course has the right to decline this recommendation.
Sending accepted articles to Elsevier in electronic format
We accept most wordprocessing formats, but Word, WordPerfect or LaTeX is preferred. An electronic version of the text should be submitted together with the final hardcopy of the manuscript. The electronic version must match the hardcopy exactly. Always keep a backup copy of the electronic file for reference and safety. Label storage media with your name, journal title, and software used. Save your files using the default extension of the program used. No changes to the accepted version are permissible without the explicit approval of the Editor. Electronic files can be stored on 3.5 inch diskette, ZIP-disk or CD (either MS-DOS or Macintosh).
LaTeX documents
If the LaTeX file is suitable, proofs will be produced without rekeying the text. The article should preferably be written using Elsevier Science's document class 'elsart', or alternatively the standard document class 'article'.
The Elsevier LaTeX package (including detailed instructions for LaTeX preparation) can be obtained from Elsevier's web site: www.elsevier.nl/locate/latex, or www.elsevier.com/locate/latex, or www.elsevier.co.jp/locate/latex. It consists of the files: elsart.cls (use this file if you are using LaTeX2e, the current version of LaTeX), elsart.sty and elsart13.sty (use these two files if you are using LaTeX3.09, the previous version of LaTeX), guidelines for users of elsart, a template file for quick start, and the instruction booklet "Preparing articles with LaTeX".
Presentation of manuscript
Print the entire manuscript on one side of the paper only, using double spacing and wide (3 cm) margins. (Avoid full justification, i.e., do not use a constant right-hand margin.) Ensure that each new paragraph is clearly indicated. Present tables and figure legends on separate pages at the end of the manuscript. If possible, consult a recent issue of the journal to become familiar with layout and conventions. Number all pages consecutively.
Title page
The title page should contain the article title, author(s) names and affiliations, related footnotes, an abstract of approximately 200 words, and a list of keywords.
Corresponding author
Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.

In text, references should be indicated by arabic numerals enclosed in square brackets, in the list of references, references should be numbered consecutively and be put at the end of the paper.
Mathematical symbols
All mathematical symbols, which are not typewritten should be listed and explained on a separate sheet. The numbers identifying displayed mathematical expressions should be placed in parentheses at the right margin. Parts of text should not be subject to this numbering.
Figures Provide all illustrations as high-quality printouts, suitable for reproduction (which may include reduction) without retouching. Number illustrations consecutively in the order in which they are referred to in the text. They should accompany the manuscript, but should not be included within the text. Clearly mark all illustrations on the back (or - in case of line drawings - on the lower front side) with the figure number and the author's name and, in cases of ambiguity, the correct orientation.
Submitting your artwork in an electronic format helps us to produce your work to the best possible standards, ensuring accuracy, clarity and a high level of detail.
Proofs
When your manuscript is received by the Publisher it is considered to be in its final form. Proofs are not to be regarded as 'drafts'.
One set of page proofs in PDF format will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding author, to be checked for typesetting/editing. No changes in, or additions to, the accepted (and subsequently edited) manuscript will be allowed at this stage. Proofreading is solely your responsibility.
Author benefits
