Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue on "Advances in Statistical Methods and Machine Learning for Medical and Genetic Epidemiology" aims to showcase cutting-edge developments in statistical and computational approaches for analyzing complex biomedical and genetic data. This Special Issue highlights the integration of machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques with traditional epidemiological methods to enhance our understanding of disease etiology, risk factors, and health trajectories across the human lifespan.
Key focus areas include the following:
- Novel machine learning algorithms for handling high-dimensional genetic and biomedical data;
- Advanced statistical methods for causal inference in observational studies;
- Innovative approaches to integrate multiple data types, including genomic, environmental, and clinical data;
- Improved predictive modeling techniques for disease risk and prognosis;
- Methods for analyzing large-scale population-based studies and biobanks.
This Special Issue brings together contributions from researchers focusing on epidemiology, biostatistics, genetics, and computer science to address challenges in analyzing complex biological systems and heterogeneous datasets.
It aims to provide insights into the application of these advanced methods in real-world biomedical scenarios, from identifying genetic risk factors to developing personalized interventions.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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-blind 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.
