The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to statistics:
A graphical model or probabilistic graphical model (PGM) or structured probabilistic model is a probabilistic model for which a graph expresses the conditional dependence structure between random variables. They are commonly used in probability theory, statistics—particularly Bayesian statistics—and machine learning.
The Journal of Symbolic Computation is a peer-reviewed monthly scientific journal covering all aspects of symbolic computation published by Academic Press and then by Elsevier. It is targeted to both mathematicians and computer scientists. It was established in 1985 by Bruno Buchberger, who served as its editor until 1994.
The Institute of Mathematical Statistics is an international professional and scholarly society devoted to the development, dissemination, and application of statistics and probability. The Institute currently has about 4,000 members in all parts of the world. Beginning in 2005, the institute started offering joint membership with the Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability as well as with the International Statistical Institute. The Institute was founded in 1935 with Harry C. Carver and Henry L. Rietz as its two most important supporters. The institute publishes a variety of journals, and holds several international conference every year.
The Journal of Computational Chemistry is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published since 1980 by John Wiley & Sons. It covers research, contemporary developments in theory and methodology, and applications in all areas of computational chemistry, including ab initio quantum chemistry methods and semiempirical methods, density functional theory, molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics, statistical mechanics, cheminformatics, biomolecular structure prediction, molecular design, and bioinformatics.
Computational statistics, or statistical computing, is the study which is the intersection of statistics and computer science, and refers to the statistical methods that are enabled by using computational methods. It is the area of computational science specific to the mathematical science of statistics. This area is fast developing. The view that the broader concept of computing must be taught as part of general statistical education is gaining momentum.
Michael Louis Friendly is an American-Canadian psychologist, Professor of Psychology at York University in Ontario, Canada, and director of its Statistical Consulting Service, especially known for his contributions to graphical methods for categorical and multivariate data, and on the history of data and information visualisation.

Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, established in 2005 by the American Chemical Society. It is indexed in Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), Scopus, British Library, and Web of Science. The current editor-in-chief is Laura Gagliardi. Currently as of the year 2022, JCTC has 18 volumes.
Computational Mechanics is a monthly scientific journal focused on computational mechanics. It is published by Springer and was founded in 1986. The journal reports original research in computational mechanics. It focuses on areas that involve the rational application of mechanics, mathematics, and numerical methods in the practice of modern engineering.
The SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (SISC), formerly SIAM Journal on Scientific & Statistical Computing, is a scientific journal focusing on the research articles on numerical methods and techniques for scientific computation. It is published by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). Hans De Sterck is the current editor-in-chief, assuming the role in January 2022. The impact factor is currently around 2.
Archives of Computational Methods in Engineering is a scholarly journal that provides a forum for spreading results of research and advanced industrial practice in computational engineering with particular emphasis on mechanics and its related areas. It publishes reviews presenting developments in computational engineering.
Computational Statistics is a quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes applications and research in the field of computational statistics, as well as reviews of hardware, software, and books. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2012 impact factor of 0.482. It was established in 1986 as Computational Statistics Quarterly and obtained its current title in 1992. The journal is published by Springer Science+Business Media and the editor-in-chief is Yuichi Mori.
Statistical Methods in Medical Research is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes papers in the fields of Health Care and Medical Informatics. The journal's editor is Brian Everitt. It has been in publication since 1992 and is currently published by SAGE Publications.
The Journal of Multivariate Analysis is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal that covers applications and research in the field of multivariate statistical analysis. The journal's scope includes theoretical results as well as applications of new theoretical methods in the field. Some of the research areas covered include copula modeling, functional data analysis, graphical modeling, high-dimensional data analysis, image analysis, multivariate extreme-value theory, sparse modeling, and spatial statistics.
Dianne Helen Cook is an Australian statistician, the editor of the Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, and an expert on the visualization of high-dimensional data. She is Professor of Business Analytics in the Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics at Monash University and professor emeritus of statistics at Iowa State University. The emeritus status was chosen so that she could continue to supervise graduate students at Iowa State after moving to Australia.
Journal of Agricultural, Biological and Environmental Statistics (JABES) is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by Springer Science+Business Media. It is a joint publication of the International Biometric Society and the American Statistical Association. The journal publishes four issues a year composed of articles that introduce new statistical methods to solve practical problems in the agricultural sciences, the biological sciences, and the environmental sciences.
Steve MacEachern is an American Statistician. MacEachern is a Distinguished Arts & Sciences Professor of Statistics at the Ohio State University. He received his B.A. in Mathematics from Carleton College in 1982 and his Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Minnesota in 1988. His doctoral work focused on nonparametric Bayesian methods under the guidance of Don Berry. MacEachern joined the faculty at Ohio State in 1988 and has been a member of the Department of Statistics ever since. He has a courtesy appointment as a Professor in the Department of Psychology. He is best known for Bayesian modeling and computation, with a particular emphasis on dependent Dirichlet processes. He has published extensively in leading statistical journals, and his work has had a significant impact on the field. He is also the advisor of esteemed professor William Francis Darnieder.
