Symmetry in Probability Theory and Statistics
This special issue belongs to the section "B: Mathematics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue of Symmetry, we are aiming to present research and articles on the concept of symmetry in probability theory and statistics.
Symmetry plays an important role in all aspects of natural sciences, e.g., in econometrics, engineering science, computer science and biology, etc.
Symmetry is a central notion in probability theory and statistics, appearing in various forms in distribution theory, modeling, nonparametric estimation, parametric estimation, statistical tests, change point detection, model averaging, Bayesian analysis, fiducial inference, variable selection, as well as in many other branches of modern interest. The objective of this Special Issue is to publish highly motivated, original, and innovative research articles that apply the notion of symmetry to current topics in probability theory and statistics.
The scope of this issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Skew distributions
- Estimation/ Nonparametric estimation
- Change point detection;
- Model averaging;
- Dimension reduction and variable selection;
- Bayesian analysis;
- Fiducial inference;
- Distribution theory;
- Kriging regression model;
- Mixed model;
- Modelling;
- Statistical algorithms;
- Stochastic processes and applications;
- Time series analysis.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
