CALL FOR PAPERS COMPUTATIONAL STATISTICS & DATA ANALYSIS 2nd CSDA Special Issue on FUZZY SETS IN STATISTICS http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/csda Fuzzy sets have been used in recent years for modeling various kinds of imprecise information, especially linguistic data, expert opinions, as well as various kinds of ill-observed statistical data. The second special issue focuses on the synergy existing between statistical and fuzzy set-based methods in the joint handling of variability and imprecision for data analysis. Special topics are fuzzy random variables, practical representations of imprecise probabilistic information and possibility theory, statistical testing and inference techniques using fuzzy data, classification using fuzzy sets, etc. Invitation to submitting is also extended to original applications of fuzzy statistical methods in such fields as: Economics and Finance, Social Sciences, Bio-medicine, Environmental Sciences, Technology. The discussion of computational aspects in the above context is particularly welcome. The papers submitted to special issue should deal with one or more of the mentioned topics. The papers must have a computational or data analytic component in order to be considered for publication. 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 All submissions must contain original unpublished work not being considered for publication elsewhere.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. Important dates: Submission of full papers: 15 December 2009 Notification of decision: 30 March 2010 (tentative) Final papers: 30 June 2010 (tentative) Papers for the special issue should be submitted using the Elsevier Electronic Submission tool EES: http://ees.elsevier.com/csda (In the EES please chose the special issue on "FUZZY SETS IN STATISTICS" and the Editor responsible for the special issues).
