Journal of the Italian Statistical Society
Statistical Methods and Applications (SMA) is the official Journal of the Italian Statistical Society. This international journal fosters the development of statistical methodology and its applications in biological, demographic, economic, health, physical, social, and other scientific domains. In particular, the journal emphasizes investigations of methodological foundations and methods that have broad applications.
SMA includes two sections. The first is devoted to statistical methodology, publishing original contributions in all fields of statistics. In addition, this section periodically publishes critical reviews and discussions on recent developments in statistical theory and methods. The second section publishes papers devoted to original and innovative applications of recent statistical methodology and complex approaches of statistical data analysis.
