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
