The International Journal of Biostatistics

期刊简介：The International Journal of Biostatistics (IJB) seeks to publish new biostatistical models and methods, new statistical theory, as well as original applications of statistical methods, for important practical problems arising from the biological, medical, public health, and agricultural sciences with an emphasis on semiparametric methods. Given many alternatives to publish exist within biostatistics, IJB offers a place to publish for research in biostatistics focusing on modern methods, often based on machine-learning and other data-adaptive methodologies, as well as providing a unique reading experience that compels the author to be explicit about the statistical inference problem addressed by the paper. IJB is intended that the journal cover the entire range of biostatistics, from theoretical advances to relevant and sensible translations of a practical problem into a statistical framework. Electronic publication also allows for data and software code to be appended, and opens the door for reproducible research allowing readers to easily replicate analyses described in a paper. Both original research and review articles will be warmly received, as will articles applying sound statistical methods to practical problems.

【译文】《国际生物统计学杂志》（IJB）致力于发表新的生物统计学模型和方法、新的统计理论，以及统计方法在生物、医学、公共卫生和农业科学中的重要实际问题的原创应用，特别强调半参数方法。鉴于生物统计学领域内存在许多发表选择的替代方案，IJB提供了一个专注于现代方法（通常基于机器学习和其他数据自适应方法）的生物统计学研究的发表平台，同时提供独特的阅读体验，迫使作者明确说明论文所解决的统计推断问题。IJB旨在涵盖生物统计学的整个范围，从理论进步到将实际问题的相关和合理的转换到统计框架。电子出版还允许附加数据和软件代码，并为可重复研究打开大门，使读者能够轻松复制论文中描述的分析。原创研究和综述文章都将受到热烈欢迎，以及将稳健的统计方法应用于实际问题的文章。
