Dear Allstaters,
Statistica Sinica is featuring its new cover with a ˇ§Ying-Yangˇ¨ design beginning the
first issue of Volume 16 (2006). The outward "Yang" design on the front cover and
the inward "Ying" design on the back cover symbolize what Statistica Sinica is
intended to be -- a journal enabling the dissemination of wisdom and absorption of
knowledge. The editorial office will offer 100 free copies (with shipping via
surface mail) to allstaters on a basis of first come, first served. Please email
your shipping address to Kay Mo at [log in to unmask] , if you are interested
in the new cover and everything inside. The back cover also highlights a new scope:
"Statistica Sinica endeavors to meet the needs of statisticians faced with a
rapidly changing world. It publishes significant and original articles that
promote the principled use of statistics along with related theory and
methods in quantitative studies, essential to modern technologies and
sciences."
We welcome your suggestions and proposals on theme topics that closely reflect
the new scope. As an example, please be alerted to our recent call for
submissions to the theme of ˇ§Algebraic Statistics and Computational Biologyˇ¨
posted at http://www3.stat.sinica.edu.tw/statistica/. We also welcome comments
and submissions on general topics.
In this issue, our editorial serves as a debut of the ˇ§Editor's Melangeˇ¨ column,
which can be downloaded from:

We very much hope you will pick up a copy of the new issue of Statistica Sinica to
view the new cover and much more ˇKˇK
Michelle Liou and Xiao-Li Meng,
Co-Editors
