Statistics & Probability Letters

期刊简介：Statistics & Probability Letters adopts a novel and highly innovative approach to the publication of research findings in statistics and probability. It features concise articles, rapid publication and broad coverage of the statistics and probability literature.Statistics & Probability Letters is a refereed journal. Articles will be limited to six journal pages (13 double-space typed pages) including references and figures. Apart from the six-page limitation, originality, quality and clarity will be the criteria for choosing the material to be published in Statistics & Probability Letters. Every attempt will be made to provide the first review of a submitted manuscript within three months of submission.The proliferation of literature and long publication delays have made it difficult for researchers and practitioners to keep up with new developments outside of, or even within, their specialization. The aim of Statistics & Probability Letters is to help to alleviate this problem. Concise communications (letters) allow readers to quickly and easily digest large amounts of material and to stay up-to-date with developments in all areas of statistics and probability.The mainstream of Letters will focus on new statistical methods, theoretical results, and innovative applications of statistics and probability to other scientific disciplines. Key results and central ideas must be presented in a clear and concise manner. These results may be part of a larger study that the author will submit at a later time as a full length paper to SPL or to another journal. Theory and methodology may be published with proofs omitted, or only sketched, but only if sufficient support material is provided so that the findings can be verified. Empirical and computational results that are of significant value will be published.

【译文】《统计学与概率信函》采用新颖且高度创新的方法来发表统计学和概率的研究成果。它包含简明扼要的文章，快速出版，并对统计学与概率文献进行广泛覆盖。该期刊为同行评审期刊。文章篇幅将限制在六页（13页双倍行距打印页）以内，包括参考文献和图表。除了六页的限制外，原创性、质量和清晰度将是选择在《统计学与概率信函》上发表材料的标准。将尽一切努力在提交后三个月内提供对提交的手稿的第一次评审。文献的激增和漫长的出版延误使得研究人员和实践者难以跟上其专业领域内外的新发展。本刊《统计学与概率信函》的目的是帮助缓解这一问题。简明通信（信函）使读者能够快速轻松地消化大量材料，并跟上统计学和概率所有领域的发展。信函的主要内容将集中在新的统计方法、理论结果以及统计学和概率在其它科学领域的创新应用上。关键结果和核心思想必须以清晰简洁的方式呈现。这些结果可能是作者将在以后作为完整论文提交给SPL或另一家期刊的更大研究的一部分。理论和方法的发表可以省略证明，或者只做简要概述，但前提是必须提供足够支持材料，以便验证研究结果。具有重大价值的实证和计算结果将被发表。
