Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Statistical forecasting is widely applicable in various fields, such as economics, finance, meteorology, environmental sciences, biology, and healthcare, and it plays a crucial role in decision making and planning by individuals, organizations, and industries. It helps in identifying patterns, trends, and relationships in historical data to make informed predictions about future events or outcomes.
This Special Issue "Statistical Forecasting: Theories, Methods and Applications" in Mathematics aims to explore this important field and the use of statistical techniques to predict future values or trends. The focus is on the role and effect of various statistical methods in data prediction.
We welcome researchers to explore the latest advancements and challenges in statistical forecasting and to promote the exchange of ideas and knowledge in this field via research on the theoretical aspects of statistical forecasting. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, time series analysis, regression analysis, machine learning techniques, Bayesian data analysis, multivariate analysis, and statistical diagnostics. Additionally, we place equal emphasis on applied aspects of statistical forecasting, and the role and effect of various statistical methods in data prediction; the fields of application include, but are not limited to, economics, finance, and environment and health sciences.
