Wiley Announces the Launch of Statistical Analysis and Data Mining

New journal to debut in early 2007

Hoboken, N.J., September 12, 2006 - Global publisher John Wiley & 
Sons, Inc. today announced the launch of Statistical Analysis and 
Data Mining, a new international journal providing an 
interdisciplinary focus on data analysis. The journal will debut 
in early 2007 and will publish six times per year in print and 
online via Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com), 
Wiley's online publishing platform.

Designed to encourage collaborations across the diverse 
disciplines of computer science, engineering, and statistics, 
Statistical Analysis and Data Mining will communicate novel data 
mining and statistical techniques to both novices and experts 
involved in the analysis of data from practical problems.

"Statistical Analysis and Data Mining fills a key need in 
bringing together these important areas of knowledge discovery," 
said Jon Glover, Associate Publisher, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 
"Data miners and statisticians have come to recognize the 
interdependence of their two modes of investigation, given the 
enormity and complexity of the data generated in so much of 
today's research. We view the launch of this journal as the 
acknowledgment of an important 'symbiotic' relationship."

Each issue will feature articles that address such key issues as 
solving data analysis problems associated with massive complex 
datasets; providing applications and solutions that are focused 
on solving real problems; describing innovative data mining 
algorithms or novel statistical approaches; comparing and 
contrasting techniques to solve a problem; and conducting an 
objective evaluation of the analyses and the solutions.

Statistical Analysis and Data Mining is led by Editors-in-Chief 
Arnold Goodman, Center for Statistical Consulting, University of 
California Irvine; Chandrika Kamath, Center for Applied 
Scientific Computing, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; and 
Vipin Kumar, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, 
University of Minnesota.

Statistical Analysis and Data Mining adopts Wiley's new business 
model for newly launched journals, in which complimentary online 
access is available to institutions throughout 2007 and 2008.
