AIMS AND SCOPE

The Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics is an official publication of the Brazilian Statistical Society. It is published twice a year, in June and December. The Journal publishes papers in applied probability, applied statistics, computational statistics, mathematical statistics, probability theory and stochastic processes. More specifically, the following types of contributions will be considered: 

            (i)     Original articles dealing with methodological developments, comparison of competing techniques or

                    their computational aspects;

            (ii)     Articles that contain novel applications of existing methodologies to practical problems; 

            (iii)    Survey articles containing a thorough coverage of topics of broad interest to probability and

                    statistics. 

The journal will occasionally publish book reviews, invited papers and essays on the teaching of statistics.

INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

 1. Three copies of the manuscript should be submitted to one of the three editors. Alternatively, submissions can be sent by e-mail in PDF format only to the following address: silviaferrari@usp.br.

 2. The articles must be written in English.
       

 Manuscript Layout

 a) The first page must contain the following information: (i) title, (ii) name(s) of author(s) with the corresponding affiliation(s), (iii) an abstract not exceeding 200 words, (iv) key words and phrases.

 b)  References should be listed in alphabetical order of the author's (last) name, as in the following examples:

 Mentz, R.P. (1977). Estimation in the first order moving average model through the finite autoregressive approximation. Journal of Econometrics 6, 234-241.
 Priestley, M.B. (1981). Spectral Analysis and Time Series, Academic Press, London.

 References in the text should be given by the author's name and year of publication; e.g.: Mentz (1977), David (1982, p. 606), Ullah et al. (1982).

 We recommend that the titles of journals should not be abbreviated. When used, however, abbreviations should conform with the Index of Mathematical Papers.

 4. Sections should be numbered 1, 2, etc., Section 1 being an introduction. Mathematical expressions should be numbered in the format (x.y) where x is the section number and y is the appropriate sequence number within that section. Figures, tables, definitions, theorems and corollaries should be numbered consecutively (1, 2, etc.).

 5. We strongly recommend the use of the LaTeX template available here.

 6. Authors may receive proofs of the accepted manuscripts for corrections. Twenty free reprints of each article will be sent to corresponding author.

 7. Since the journal is typeset using LaTeX, final versions of accepted articles should be sent (via e-mail) in LaTeX form. (Authors should use the LaTeX template.) Additionaly, figures should sent in one of the following formats: PostScript (PS), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) or Portable Document
Format (PDF).
