Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Papers should address any aspects of symmetry arguments in probability and statistical inference, such as, but not limited to: Constructive rules of probability and inference derived from symmetry arguments; relative probabilities; symmetric probability measures, symmetry in probability distributions, symmetry-related arguments in entropy (probabilistic) laws; epistemic probabilities and symmetry principles, symmetry arguments in the cognitive foundations of probability, statistical inference under symmetry, quantum statistical inference, asymmetric inference (in Markov processes), exchangeability and symmetry. Group-theoretic approaches to probability and inference, including those discussing aspects of symmetry invariance derived from symmetry arguments will be considered. Papers discussing covariance structures derived from symmetry arguments, for example, will also be considered. Annotated reviews may also be considered.
Authors may benefit from clearly distinguishing papers (of lesser interest) that apply statistical methods to assess simple parametric hypotheses of symmetry from papers (of higher interest) that, instead, propose new statistical models amenable to classes of symmetries.
All papers should explicitly discuss the role of symmetry in their area of research, making it of interest and accessibility to all readership of Symmetry.
The guest editor encourages all authors, if in doubt, to contact him [email protected] with a brief white paper on their topic.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
