CALL FOR PAPERS COMPUTATIONAL STATISTICS & DATA ANALYSIS Special Issue on SPATIAL STATISTICS http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/csda
Guest Editors: James LeSage, Sudipto Banerjee, Manfred Fischer, Peter Congdon. We are inviting submissions for the 1st special issue of Computational Statistics and Data Analysis dealing with Spatial Statistics. The special issue will include spatial data analysis, spatial computing and modelling. Submissions for the special issue should contain both a computational and a spatio-analytic component, combined with a substantive application. Theoretical papers, or papers with simulation as the main contribution are not suitable for the special issue. Overviews are important given the rapid development of spatial statistics. Analysis of spatial data has made substantial advances in the last decade or two, linked to progress in often intensive computational techniques. Spatial applications in econometrics, environmental science and epidemiology have also benefited from new modelling perspectives, whether classical or Bayesian in their inferential basis. Related advances have occurred in spatio-temporal statistics and statistical image analysis. The deadline for submissions is 30th November, 2007. Notification of decisions will be given by 30 March, 2008. Authors who are uncertain about the suitability of their papers should contact the special issue editors. All submissions must contain original unpublished work not being considered for publication elsewhere. Submissions will be refereed according to standard procedures for Computational Science and Data Analysis. Information about the journal can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/csda . Please e-mail a PDF file of your manuscript to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] All submissions must be double spaced or they will be returned immediately for revision.
