Special Issue on Data-Adaptive Statistical Inference

Special issue on causal inference.

We provide a brief editorial introduction to a special issue of The International Journal of Biostatistics dedicated to several papers presented at a workshop held at the Banff International Research Station, Canada, in May 2009.

Special issue on imprecision in statistical data analysis

Different sources of imprecision in connection with both empirical data or models may arise in statistical data analysis. Such an imprecision is frequently connected with linguistic data, expert opinions, perceptions as well as various kinds of ill-observed data or non-precisely defined concepts. Fuzzy sets, intervals, belief functions, random sets or imprecise probability models have been used...

Special Issue on Statistical Algorithms and Software

The journal of Computational Statistics and Data Analysis (CSDA) regularly publishes papers with a strong algorithmic and software component. Some recent CSDA related articles can be found in Bustos and Frery (2006), Hammill and Preisser (2006), Keeling and Pavur (2007), Novikov and Oberman (2007), Rosenthal (2007) and Tomasi and Bro (2006). This is the first CSDA special issue on Statistical A...

Statistical Inference for Data Adaptive Target Parameters.

Consider one observes n i.i.d. copies of a random variable with a probability distribution that is known to be an element of a particular statistical model. In order to define our statistical target we partition the sample in V equal size sub-samples, and use this partitioning to define V splits in an estimation sample (one of the V subsamples) and corresponding complementary parameter-generati...
