Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce a Special Issue on “Recent Developments in Clustering and Classification Methods”. This Special Issue aims at providing a focus on state-of-the-art research in the field of statistical models and learning techniques in different areas of unsupervised and semi-supervised classification.
Topics of particular interest may include but are not limited to:
- Development of methodological innovations in all fields of classification and clustering, such as model-based clustering, mixture models for both continuous, discrete, and mixed data in one or two dimensions (co-clustering, biclustering), robust approaches for data classification, and clustering time series, among others;
- New trends in visualization tools;
- Development of new approaches for model selection and goodness-of-fit tests in clustering and classification methods;
- New solutions for dealing with missing data in clustering and classification methods.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.
Sincerely,
Dr. Marta Nai Ruscone
Dr. Daniel Fernández
Guest Editors
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. Stats is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
