Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Statistics and biostatistics are fundamental to modern medicine, underpinning evidence-based decision making, clinical research and public health policy. Ongoing advances in study design, data analysis and computational techniques are crucial for addressing complex medical data, high-dimensional biological information and real-world evidence. This rapidly evolving field plays a key role in improving diagnosis, treatment evaluation and overall healthcare outcomes. We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue.
This Special Issue aims to publish high-quality review papers, original research articles and communications presenting novel statistical methods, innovative applications, data analyses, case studies and comparative studies in medicine and biostatistics. The focus is on statistical theory and methodology, as well as their practical implementation in medical and health sciences, ensuring strong alignment with the journal’s scope while maintaining a clear and coherent thematic focus.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, clinical trial design and analysis, survival and longitudinal data analysis, epidemiological and public health methods, Bayesian and causal inference, statistical learning and machine learning in medicine and the analysis of biomedical and health-related data.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
Dr. Stella Stylianou
Guest Editor
