Directions in Statistical Modelling

Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to announce the launch of a new Special Issue in Stats on “Directions in Statistical Modelling”. We request your contributions toward a collection of papers, including research articles, reviews, communications, and concept papers, pertaining to a topic relevant to the analysis and modelling of uni/multivariate nonnegative orthant (count and (semi)continuous) data.

Frameworks of time series, generalized linear/mixed models, space data models, Bayesian and Markovian approaches, smoothing and asymmetric kernel methods, semiparametric models, and weighting models are mainly required. Our community needs to discuss the latest research and develop new ideas and research directions.

An expression of interest with an approximately 200-word abstract should be sent to the Guest Editor or the editorial office prior to submission. Five high-quality papers will be considered for publication free of charge in this Special Issue, which will be selected on the basis of high quality.

Prof. Dr. Célestin C. Kokonendji
Guest Editor

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page.
