STATISTICA SINICA
Call for submissions on
MULTISCALE METHODS AND STATISTICS:
A PRODUCTIVE MARRIAGE

Following the successful 5th Graybill Conference on "Multiscale
Methods
and Statistics: A Productive Marriage" organized by Department of
Statistics, Colorado State University in June 2006, we are inviting
submissions on the same theme for a special issue of Statistica
Sinica. Submissions are NOT limited to papers presented at the
conference. The goal of publishing this theme topic is to highlight
the recent developments and advantages of employing both multiscale
and statistical methods for solving various methodological, scientific
and engineering problems.

Submissions preferably will provide either methodological or
theoretical
advances in the interface of multiscale methods and statistics, or
demonstrate applications of such techniques in sciences and
technologies. Priority will be given to papers that are assessed to
be, statistically and scientifically speaking, most innovative,
comprehensive, and reaching a wider readership.

Papers submitted to the special issue will be reviewed according to
regular
procedures similar to other submissions to the journal. Accepted
papers will appear in a single issue of Statistica Sinica, scheduled
for 2009. Please contact Professor Yazhen Wang or any of the special
issue editors listed below for questions on the suitability of your
paper(s). Submissions must be made online through the journal site at

http://www.stat.sinica.edu.tw/statistica/submission

Please use the LaTeX article template, also available at the above
site, for
preparing your manuscript submission. The scheduled DEADLINE for
submission is December 31, 2007. Authors wishing to receive e-mail
alerts as the deadline approaches may contact the editorial assistant,
Karen Li (e-mail: karen at stat.sinica.edu.tw).
