Theory and Methods focuses primarily on new applications of known statistical methods to actual problems in industry and government, and has a strong mathematical orientation to statistical studies. Additionally, it provides communications discussing practical problems with only ad-hoc solutions or none at all; in either case, where there is a difference of opinion on particular techniques, all parties involved vigorously debate the issue with thought-provoking commentary.

Theory and Methods, published in English, welcomes manuscript contributions. Those papers accepted will be published promptly. For complete details regarding manuscript preparation and submission, visit the Marcel Dekker, Inc. Web site: www.dekker.com
