Australian & New Zealand Journal of Statistics

期刊简介：The Australian & New Zealand Journal of Statistics is an international journal managed jointly by the Statistical Society of Australia and the New Zealand Statistical Association. Its purpose is to report significant and novel contributions in statistics, ranging across articles on statistical theory, methodology, applications and computing. The journal has a particular focus on statistical techniques that can be readily applied to real-world problems, and on application papers with an Australasian emphasis. Outstanding articles submitted to the journal may be selected as Discussion Papers, to be read at a meeting of either the Statistical Society of Australia or the New Zealand Statistical Association.The main body of the journal is divided into three sections.The Theory and Methods Section publishes papers containing original contributions to the theory and methodology of statistics, econometrics and probability, and seeks papers motivated by a real problem and which demonstrate the proposed theory or methodology in that situation. There is a strong preference for papers motivated by, and illustrated with, real data.The Applications Section publishes papers demonstrating applications of statistical techniques to problems faced by users of statistics in the sciences, government and industry. A particular focus is the application of newly developed statistical methodology to real data and the demonstration of better use of established statistical methodology in an area of application. It seeks to aid teachers of statistics by placing statistical methods in context.The Statistical Computing Section publishes papers containing new algorithms, code snippets, or software descriptions (for open source software only) which enhance the field through the application of computing. Preference is given to papers featuring publically available code and/or data, and to those motivated by statistical methods for practical problems.

【译文】澳大利亚和新西兰统计杂志是一本由澳大利亚统计学会和新西兰统计协会共同管理的国际期刊。其目的是报告统计学的重要和创新的贡献，涵盖统计理论、方法、应用和计算方面的文章。该期刊特别关注可以轻松应用于现实世界问题的统计技术，以及具有澳大利亚和新西兰特色的应论文。提交给该期刊的杰出文章可能被选为讨论论文，在澳大利亚统计学会或新西兰统计协会的会议上阅读。期刊的主体分为三个部分。理论和方法部分发表包含对统计学、计量经济学和概率论的理论和方法原创贡献的文章，并寻求由真实问题激发并在此情况下展示所提出理论或方法的文章。强烈倾向于由真实数据激发并用真实数据说明的文章。应用部分发表展示统计技术应用于科学、政府和企业中统计用户面临的问题的文章。特别关注将新开发的统计方法应用于真实数据，并在应用领域展示现有统计方法的更好使用。它试图通过将统计方法置于上下文中来帮助统计学教师。统计计算部分发表包含新算法、代码片段或软件描述（仅限开源软件）的文章，通过应用计算增强该领域。优先考虑具有公开可用的代码和/或数据以及由实际问题的统计方法激发的文章。
