A new international journal will soon give the statistical community an outlet for discussing advancements in processing, modeling and analysis of imaging data.
Marina Vannucci, Rice University’s Noah Harding Professor of Statistics, is a founding editor of Statistics and Data Science in Imaging (SDSI) and will serve as editor-in-chief when the publication launches on August 30, 2024.
SDSI will provide a new platform for statisticians, data scientists and field investigators to discuss methodological advancements and applications related to the statistical analysis of imaging data. It also serves as a collaborative environment for interdisciplinary research in data analytics in imaging, filling a significant gap in current outlets.
According to a statement from the founding editors, “the need for this new journal comes from the fact that the ever growing community of researchers working at the interface of statistics, data science, and imaging currently lack a dedicated forum to present, compare, and address statistical work related to imaging data analysis.”
The journal welcomes discussion papers, in-depth reviews and case studies to promote engagement and learning among the statistical community. Contributors can also submit short communications to highlight emerging issues of interest and best practice papers.
SDSI will be published by the Taylor & Francis Group on behalf of the American Statistical Association.
Vannucci’s co-editors include Michele Guindani, professor of biostatistics at UCLA; Martin Lindquist, professor of biostatistics at Johns Hopkins University; and Hernando Ombao, professor of statistics at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology.
