CALL FOR PAPERS COMPUTATIONAL STATISTICS & DATA ANALYSIS 3rd Special Issue on COMPUTATIONAL ECONOMETRICS http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/csda Guest Editors: D.A. Belsley, E.J. Kontoghiorghes and J.R. Magnus. We are inviting submissions for the 3rd special issue of Computational Statistics and Data Analysis dealing with Computational Econometrics. Econometric techniques are inherently computational, often substantially so. Existing algorithms, however, do not always embody the best of computational techniques, either for efficiency, stability, or conditioning. Likewise, environments for doing econometrics are inherently computer based. Integrated packages for conducting econometrics have grown well over the years, but still have much room for further development. Computational econometrics, then, is a natural field that is ever ready to receive new efforts, and a special issue in this area is always welcome. CSDA aims to have regular issues in Computational Econometrics. The first 2 special issues dealing with Computational Economics have recently been published. They feature articles examining filters, heuristics methods for estimation, MCMC, computational and numerical aspects for estimating large-scale models, and simulation methods, among other topics, and indicate the importance of computing in econometrics and highlights research opportunities that exist in this discipline. In the 3rd special issue, we will consider papers that address computational and numerical methods used in solving theoretical and practical issues associated with econometric algorithms, the impact of computing on econometrics, and specific applications involving computing and econometrics. The DEADLINE for submissions is the 28th of February 2006. The notification of decision is the 30th of May 2006. Submissions should contain both computational and econometric components. 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 All submissions must contain original unpublished work not being considered for publication elsewhere.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 Electronic submission is strongly encouraged. All manuscripts should be double spaced or they will be returned immediately for revision. Please e-mail a PDF file of your manuscript to: [log in to unmask] The special issue editors: David A.
