Overview

Top Research Topics at Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics?

Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics aims to foster the development of research in Statistics, Applied mathematics, Estimator, Combinatorics and Mathematical optimization. Statistics and Econometrics are closely related fields of research discussed in Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics. The study on Applied mathematics presented in it intersects with the topics under Calculus.

Topics in Estimator explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Mean squared error and Estimation theory. While work presented in Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics provided substantial information on Combinatorics, it also covered topics in Discrete mathematics, Probability distribution, Distribution (mathematics) and Random variable. The journal explores the study of Efficient estimator to improve our understanding of the broader topic of Minimum-variance unbiased estimator.

Bias of an estimator is the primary subject of Minimum-variance unbiased estimator works presented in it.

  • Statistics (45.45%)
  • Applied mathematics (26.83%)
  • Estimator (20.62%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Bayesian image restoration, with two applications in spatial statistics (2868 citations)
  • Fitting autoregressive models for prediction (2094 citations)
  • Statistical Predictor Identification (1224 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics:

The journal articles mainly deal with areas of study such as Statistics, Applied mathematics, Estimator, Combinatorics and Mathematical optimization. Most of the works presented in the journal publications deal with Statistics but they intersect with the subject of Econometrics. While work presented in the most cited articles provide substantial information on Mathematical optimization, it also covers topics in Smoothing and Algorithm.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Statistics
  • Normal distribution
  • Mathematical analysis

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The objective of the journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of Estimator, Applied mathematics, Algorithm, Statistics and Feature selection. The study of Estimator encompasses disciplines such as Covariate, as well as fields such as Sample (statistics), all of which overlap with one another. It explores issues in Applied mathematics which can be linked to other research areas like Context (language use), Nonparametric statistics, Statistical hypothesis testing, Linear regression and Regression.

The presented Algorithm research focuses mostly on Sample size determination and, on occasion, topics in Curse of dimensionality. The study on Statistics presented in it intersects with subjects under the field of Inference. Issues in Feature selection were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Mathematical optimization, Coordinate descent, Linear model and Autoregressive model.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Fixed point characterizations of continuous univariate probability distributions and their applications (9 citations)
  • Multivariate matrix Mittag–Leffler distributions (8 citations)
  • Asymptotic Theory of Dependent Bayesian Multiple Testing Procedures Under Possible Model Misspecification (4 citations)

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing in Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Hirotugu Akaike (47 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Sigeo Aki (36 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Narayanaswamy Balakrishnan (29 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Chikio Hayashi (24 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Masaaki Sibuya (22 papers) absent at the last edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing in Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Osaka University (72 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of Tokyo (72 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
  • Indian Statistical Institute (56 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Hiroshima University (52 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Wisconsin-Madison (41 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition.

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 9.59% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 15.15% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.61% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.73% of all publications and 51.52% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
