ICSA April Announcement1. You are cordially invited to 2016 ICSA Applied Statistics Symposium in Atlanta! The 2016 ICSA Applied Statistics Symposium will be held from Sunday, June 12 to Wednesday, June 15, 2016 at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia. . We welcome submission of contributed abstracts on the symposium website (www.math.gsu.edu/~icsa). The program book of 2016 ICSA Symposium can be found at the conference website: http://www.math.gsu.edu/~icsa/program.html. You need to register before your abstract submission. Please let us know by email [email protected] if you encounter any problems or have any questions. 2. Statistica Sinica: call for submissions on special issues (1) Special issue on "Data Missing Not At Random" Statistica Sinica seeks original papers for a special issue on Data Not Missing At Random (NMAR). Analyzing data with missing values is a popular area of statistics with a wide range of applications in social science, marketing, econometrics, and epidemiology. While missing at random assumption is widely used in the analysis of missing data, the assumption is hard to be verified and often unrealistic. NMAR is a more challenging topic of research and a fast growing area in recent years. This special issue will provide a platform for disseminating new research and stimulating further progress in this important area. The deadline for submission is extended to June 30, 2016. All articles will be peer-reviewed based on the high standard of Statistica Sinica, and we will ensure a fair and speedy review process. Original research in any area of data not missing at random is welcome. Application papers motivated from real practical problems are also welcome. Each article is expected to have no more than 20 print pages in length under the journal template. We encourage the use of online supplementary material to include computer code, data, and additional technical details. The submission website is https://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/statisticasinica. Upon logging in as an author, please choose the option for new submission with the special theme topic of "Data Not Missing At Random". For questions regarding the suitability of your submission to this special issue, please contact Guest editor Jae-kwang Kim ([email protected]) or co-editor Zhiliang Ying ([email protected]). For other issues regarding submission to the journal, please contact the Statistica Sinica office ([email protected]). We thank you for your support. (2) Special Issue in the Memory of Professor Peter Hall On January 9, 2016, we were all saddened by the passing of Professor Peter Hall, one of the most influential and prolific statisticians of modern time and co-Editor of Statistica Sinica from 2008 to 2011. To commemorate Peter's outstanding contributions to statistics and beyond, Statistica Sinica plans to publish a special issue in his honour. We welcome the submissions to highlight Peter's significant contributions in all areas of statistics, including density estimation, regression and classification, extreme value theory, deconvolution and measurement errors, nonparametric inference for mixture distributions, functional data analysis, empirical likelihood and the bootstrap. To submit a paper, please follow the on-line submission procedure at https://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/statisticasinica. Please indicate in your cover letter/message: "For the special issue honoring Prof. Peter Hall". The deadline for the submission is:31 January 2017. All submissions will go through the rigorous review procedure of Statistica Sinica.
