Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Probability theory and statistics play a fundamental role in the research of various scientific fields, such as engineering, computer science, medicine, biology, or economics. Several statistical methods and probabilistic approaches, such as order statistics, Markov chain embedding, computational statistics, generating functions approaches, or nonparametric statistics have attracted considerable interest from researchers in recent decades.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide some evidence which reflects the importance of statistical techniques and probabilistic modelling in applied scientific areas related to reliability engineering. We welcome articles establishing theoretical methodologies in these fields, but papers providing interesting and innovative applications, including solutions of important practical problems and case studies of probability and statistics, shall also be considered. Thus, this Special Issue is expected to be a collective work by a number of leading researchers and practitioners in their respective fields of expertise and, in general, experts who have been working at the forefront of applied probability, statistics, and reliability theory.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
