AIMS AND SCOPE

'Statistical Modelling' will publish original and high-quality articles
recognizing statistical modelling as the general framework for the
application of statistical ideas. Submissions covering the following areas
are welcomed:

* Research papers reflecting important methodological developments,
extensions, and applications of statistical modelling. Papers should be
based upon a problem of real substantive interest with appropriate data.
* Articles on practical applications which are addressed using an existing
or a novel adaptation of an existing modelling technique. Articles from all
relevant disciplines will be considered.
* Reviews and tutorials on recent and cutting edge topics in statistical
modelling.

The journal aims to be the major resource for statistical modelling,
covering both methodology and practice. Its goals are to be
multidisciplinary in nature and to promote the cross-fertilization of ideas
between substantive research areas. It will also provide a common forum for
the comparison, unification and nurturing of modelling issues across
different subjects.
