FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

2nd Special Issue on BIOSTATISTICS

We are inviting submissions for the second special issue of
Computational Statistics and Data Analysis (CSDA) devoted to advanced
methods and innovative applications in the broad areas of
biostatistics or biomedical statistics.

Rapid advances in biomedical research have created new challenges and
opportunities for statisticians. Just to name a few, precision
medicine, biomedical big data, detection and treatment of rare
diseases, statistical inference in observational studies and many
other emerging fields have motivated statisticians world-wide to
develop cutting-edge methods and analytical strategies. This special
issue welcomes submissions focusing on modern statistical methodology
related to any analytical issues arising from biomedical research. In
particular, new methods or analytical strategies that directly address
biomedical research questions or are motivated by real-world
biomedical examples are strongly desired.

The submission for consideration should involve a significant novel
computational or advanced data analytic component in order to be
considered for publication.  In particular simulation papers will be
considered only if they include a novel methodological component.
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original unpublished work not being considered for publication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 Statistics  Data Analysis. Information about the
journal can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/csda.

The deadline for submissions is 30 June 2021.  However, papers can be
submitted at any time; and, when they have been received, they will
enter the editorial system immediately.

Papers for the special issue should be submitted using the Elsevier
Editorial Manager tool EM: https://www.editorialmanager.com/csda/.
In the EM please choose the special issue on Biostatistics, and the
Co-Editor responsible for the special issues.
