Electronic Journal of Statistics

The Electronic Journal of Statistics (EJS) publishes research articles and short notes in theoretical, computational and applied statistics. The journal is open access. Articles are refereed and are held to the same standard as articles in other IMS journals. Articles become publicly available shortly after they are accepted.

Electronic Journal of Statistics is sponsored by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and by the Bernoulli Society.
