Still, it takes ones breath when realizing the huge challenges ahead. Articles and Letters Statistics has not always been considered as being very necessary. In 1848 the Dutch On Bayesian Measures of Ministry of Home Affairs established an ofŮice of statistics. And then, thirty years later Uncertainty in Large or InŮinite minister Kappeyne van de Coppelo abolishes the “superŮluous” ofŮice. The ofŮice was Dimensional Models p. 4 quite rightly put back in place in 1899, as “Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek” (CBS). Statistics at the CBS has evolved from “simple” counting to an art requiring a broad range On the Probability of Co-primality of competences. Of course counting remains important. For example the CBS reports in of two Natural Numbers Chosen February 2017 that almost 1 out of 4 people entitled to vote in the Netherlands is over the at Random p. 7 age of 65. But clearly, knowing this generates questions. What is the inŮluence of this on the outcome of the elections? This calls for more data.

  • Coauthorship and Citation Networks for Statisticians
    Submitted to the Annals of Applied Statistics arXiv: arXiv:0000.0000 COAUTHORSHIP AND CITATION NETWORKS FOR STATISTICIANS By Pengsheng Jiy and Jiashun Jinz University of Georgiay and Carnegie Mellon Universityz We have collected and cleaned two network data sets: Coauthor- ship and Citation networks for statisticians. The data sets are based on all research papers published in four of the top journals in statis- tics from 2003 to the first half of 2012. We analyze the data sets from many different perspectives, focusing on (a) centrality, (b) commu- nity structures, and (c) productivity, patterns and trends. For (a), we have identified the most prolific/collaborative/highly cited authors. We have also identified a handful of \hot" papers, suggesting \Variable Selection" as one of the \hot" areas. For (b), we have identified about 15 meaningful communities or research groups, including large-size ones such as \Spatial Statis- tics", \Large-Scale Multiple Testing", \Variable Selection" as well as small-size ones such as \Dimensional Reduction", \Objective Bayes", \Quantile Regression", and \Theoretical Machine Learning". For (c), we find that over the 10-year period, both the average number of papers per author and the fraction of self citations have been decreasing, but the proportion of distant citations has been increasing. These suggest that the statistics community has become increasingly more collaborative, competitive, and globalized. Our findings shed light on research habits, trends, and topological patterns of statisticians. The data sets provide a fertile ground for future researches on or related to social networks of statisticians. 1. Introduction. It is frequently of interest to identify \hot" areas and key authors in a scientific community, and to understand the research habits, trends, and topological patterns of the researchers.

  • Statistical Modelling of Citation Exchange Between Statistics Journals
    J. R. Statist. Soc. A (2016) 179, Part 1, pp. 1–63 Statistical modelling of citation exchange between statistics journals Cristiano Varin, Universit`a Ca’ Foscari, Venezia, Italy Manuela Cattelan Universit`a degli Studi di Padova, Italy and David Firth University of Warwick, Coventry, UK [Read before The Royal Statistical Society at a meeting organized by the General Applica- tions Section on Wednesday, May 13th, 2015, Professor P. Clarke in the Chair ] Summary. Rankings of scholarly journals based on citation data are often met with scepticism by the scientific community. Part of the scepticism is due to disparity between the common per- ception of journals’ prestige and their ranking based on citation counts. A more serious concern is the inappropriate use of journal rankings to evaluate the scientific influence of researchers. The paper focuses on analysis of the table of cross-citations among a selection of statistics jour- nals. Data are collected from the Web of Science database published by Thomson Reuters. Our results suggest that modelling the exchange of citations between journals is useful to highlight the most prestigious journals, but also that journal citation data are characterized by consid- erable heterogeneity, which needs to be properly summarized. Inferential conclusions require care to avoid potential overinterpretation of insignificant differences between journal ratings. Comparison with published ratings of institutions from the UK’s research assessment exercise shows strong correlation at aggregate level between assessed research quality and journal citation ‘export scores’ within the discipline of statistics. Keywords: Bradley–Terry model; Citation data; Export score; Impact factor; Journal ranking; Research evaluation; Stigler model 1.
