3 AAP Annual Report

In the period 1. January 2009 ‐‐ 31. December 2009 the Annals of Applied Probability received 279 submissions.

17 were withdrawn by the authors, 169 were rejected (16 with the possibility of resubmission), 51 were accepted, and 42 are still in the system (some awaiting the authors' revision). The median time to process those rejected was 2 months, and the 75th percentile 5 months; the median time to acceptance, including revision, was 7.5 months.

This year, we have had 159 submissions in the first 6 months, an increase of around 15%.

Based on the October lineup, papers spend about 4.5 months between acceptance and the proofs being sent to the authors, and 5 months between the proofs being received back until printing. Half the authors send the proofs back promptly; the remaining half take a month or more to do so.

As can be deduced from the figures above, Rick Durrett and Ed Waymire have done a terrific job in restoring the journal to good working order, following the abrupt departure of the previous editor.

The editorial board has increased in size, and currently consists of Rami Atar, Jinho Baik, Erwin Bolthausen, Krzysztof Burdzy, Brigitte Chauvin, Zhenqing Chen, Luc Devroye, Ron Doney, Rick Durrett, Jim Fill, Jean‐Pierre Fouque, Peter Friz, David Gamarnik, Carl Graham, Alexander Holroyd, Steve Krone, David Levin, Eyal Lubetzky, Jean Mairesse, Soumik Pal, Mathew Penrose, Philip Protter, Kavita Ramanan, Marty Reiman, Chris Rogers, Jason Schweinsberg, Qi‐Man Shao, Vladas Sidoravicius, Mete Soner, Prasad Tetali, Enrique Thomann and Ruth Williams.

Annual Report For 2009, Annals of Applied Statistics

AOAS, the Annals of Applied Statistics, completed its third volume in December of 2009. The December issue, at about 600 pages, was the fattest so far, reflecting a sharp jump in submissions: from 286 in 2007 and 274 in 2008 to 352 last year. Noteworthy in December was a discussion paper by Gabor Szekely and Maria Rizzo, organized by our biomedical editor Michael Newton. It might seem impossible to make major advances in the correlation coefficient after a century of development, but Szekely and Rizzo have devised a new, simple measure that equals zero only under independence, not being fooled by non-normal distributions of zero Pearson correlation.

Also attracting considerable attention was Keith Baggerly and Kevin Coombes' article on "forensic bioinformatics", in which it was shown how poor documentation had undercut the validity of some highly publicized medical studies - leading to the temporary suspension of several such studies. Leading off the 2009 volume was a special section on Statistics and Astronomy, organized by Thomas Loredo, John Rice, and the AOAS physical science editor Michael Stein.

Like the Fellowship of the Ring, the original Editors of AOAS are now departing: Karen Kafadar at Indiana University has succeeded Michael Newton as Editor for Biology, Medicine, and Genomics. (This area gets about 40% of our submissions.) Stephen Fienberg will end his term as founding Editor for Social Science, Government, and Economics in the Fall, to be succeeded by Susan Paddock of the RAND corporation. And Michael Stein is stepping down as founding Editor for Physical Science, Computation, Engineering, and the Environment at the end of 2010. Tilmann Gneiting, of Heidelberg University, our first European based editor, will be his successor. Sam Kou, of Harvard, has succeeded Karen as Editor for General Topics, a new category that reflects the increasingly diverse range of applied topics we are publishing. (Bradley Efron is continuing as Editor-in-Chief for a second term, that began in January of this year.) AOAS has gotten off to a good start - with a first Impact Rating placing it in the top four among statistics journals - due to the hard work of Steve, Michael, and Michael, and the IMS is greatly in their debt.

The increased rate of submissions has continued in 2010, perhaps even more heavily than in 2009. The January issue, which included a special section on network modeling, was almost as bulky as December's, and we anticipate needing about 2400 pages total for 2010, just to keep the backlog in check. We believe that we can continue at four issues per year, but that assumes no substantial increase in submissions.

Annals of Probability Sun, Jul 4, 2010 at 7:54 AM To: elyse gustafson

In the period July 16 2009 -- June 15 2010 t he AoP received 284 submissions. 20 were withdrawn by the authors (mostly, due to submissions to the wrong journal).

Of the 413 papers received since January 1 2009, 25 were withdrawn by the authors, 202 were rejected, 13 were rejected with possible resubmission, and 60 were accepted. 99 are still in review and a revision was requested on an addi tional 14. I expect the eventual acceptance rate to be in the range of 22-28%.

A memorial issue for J. L. Doob, assembled by G. Grimmett and D. Yilvisaker, has appeared. A memorial issue for O. Schramm is being assembled by I. Benjamini, and I expect it to appear toward the end of 2011. A memorial issue for T. Harris is being assembled by K. Alexander and P. Baxendale.

Delay from acceptance to publication seems to be bet ween 9 and 12 m onths. The requested page budget for 2011 is similar to 2010.

SUBMISSIONS: We received 505 submissions in 2009 remaining high relative to the historical norm (in comparison to 319, 362, 323, 343, 397, 479 and 490 in 2002–2008, respectively). Our editorial policy continues to emphasize that The Annals of Statistics aims at publishing research papers of highest quality reﬂecting the many facets of contemporary statistics, including all mathematical, methodological, computational and interdisciplinary work. An overview is shown in Figure 1. 0 100 200 300 400 500 505 338 96 94 64 total rejected accepted revision resubmission

Figure 1: Submissions in 2009.

ACCEPTANCE RATE: During 2009, we made 96 acceptance, 338 rejection, 94 re- quests for revision (major/minor) and 64 rejections with encouragement to resubmit. The acceptance rate among these 505 papers is about 20% percent. This is compared with 15% for the manuscripts submitted during 2008. The historical acceptance rate for the Annals has been about 25 percent.

BACKLOG: During 2009, we printed 4312 pages. In 2010 we expect to use an allotment of 4000 pages. There is a current backlog of about 2.5 issues.

PAGE REQUEST: We request an allotment of 4000 pages for 2011. This should result in a backlog of approximately 1 issue.

REVIEW TIMES: The quartiles of the distribution of the initial decision times for manuscripts submitted in 2009 are 7 days, 57 days and 96 days. They are about the same as the quartiles of 8 days, 54 days and 92 days from 2008. The details of the review times are summarized in Figure 2, which provides an estimated survival curve of initial decision times for submissions in 2009.

Annual Report - Statistical Science David Madigan, Executive Editor June 30th, 2010

As of June 30, 2010, 41 manuscripts were at various stages of review or revision for Statistical Science. From June 1, 2009 – May 31, 2010, 89 manuscripts were submitted. Of the total 89 manuscripts submitted during this period, 51 were rejected, 26 are still in various stages of review or revision, and 12 have been accepted.

This is my third and final year as Executive Editor of Statistical Science. Ed George did an outstanding job as my predecessor and passed along a healthy backlog of accepted and in-review high quality papers. Ed has stayed on as an Editor and continues to play an active role. Ed is still handling two special issues/sections that are at an advanced stage of preparation: “A Half Century of Minimax Shrinkage Estimation” (Guest Editor - Bill Strawderman), and “Thirty Years of the EM Algorithm” (Guest Editors – Xiao Li Meng and David Van Dyke). The EM issue should appear later this year.

I anticipate that the total manuscript pages for 2010 will be around 600. Roughly the same number of manuscript pages should be planned for 2011. We recently published a special issue on “Genome wide association studies” (Guest Editor Gang Zheng), and a special issue on “Adaptive clinical trials” (Guest Editor Ken Cheung) will go to press shortly. A special issue on “Bayesian methods that frequentists should know” (Guest Editors Partha Lahiri and Eric Slud), will appear next year.

I am very grateful to both Mattson Publishing Services and VTEX, who continue to be very responsive to the needs of the journal. I am very grateful to each of the members of the editorial board: Yali Amit, Rong Chen, Sid Chib, Richard Davis, Constantine Frangakis, Ed George, Diane Lambert, Peter Mueller, Nancy Reid, Thomas Richardson, Paul Rosenbam, Glenn Shafer, and Marty Wells. I receive invaluable editorial support from Elyse Gustafson, Patrick Kelly, and Geri Mattson.

Report for IMS Council

A contract between IMS and Cambridge University Press to produce two new series, one of monographs and one of short text books, was signed on 26 May 2009. Details are available on the IMS web site http://imstat.org/publications/. Three editors were appointed dealing respectively with probability (Ben Hambly), statistical theory and methods (Xiao-Li Meng) and with computational aspects (Susan Holmes), together with a coordinator (David Cox).

The first text book, Probability on graphs by Geoffrey Grimmett, was published in June 2010, and it is expected that the first monograph by Brad Efron will be available later this summer. A second text book, by Martin Hairer, is under contract; publication is currently expected in late 2011 or early 2012.

Professor Alan Agresti agreed to act as an Associate Editor dealing with text books in statistics.

The distinctive format for the two series was agreed with CUP after discussion with the current and previous Presidents.

A number of proposals are close to the point where contracts may be issued. New proposals and suggestions are welcome at all times and, in particular, we would, in particular, very much welcome from members of IMS Council suggestions of authors and topics.

While it is difficult to be specific we aim at a flow of 4-6 publications a year in the longer run, spread across the fields of interest of IMS.

We are extremely grateful to the CUP Commissioning Editors, Diana Gillooly and Lauren Cowles, for their active advice, encouragement and interest in the new series. We thank also Professor Anirban DasGupta for ensuring a smooth transition to the new arrangements.

July 2010 IMS Bulletin: Report to Council 2010 The IMS Bulletin, published 10 times per year, is the news organ of the institute. Our intention is to bring IMS members (and other readers) news about IMS activities and members, and items of interest to statisticians and probabilists around the world. Regular columns from Terry Speed and Rick Durrett are a popular (and occasionally provocative) feature. The ‘Letters to the Editor’ section appears only occasionally (two of the past 10 issues featured letters); it is difficult to predict what will make someone write a letter to the editor. In the past year, we have published obituaries for Kai Lai Chung, Robin Plackett, Ashok Maitra, Erich Lehmann, Mir Maswood Ali, Stephen Lagakos, Miguel Arcones, James F Hannan, Hirotugu Akaike, and Samuel Kotz. If Council members hear of the death of any IMS members please let us know (email [email protected]) as we may not have yet heard. We would rather hear twice than not at all. In the 75th year of the IMS, we have featured a number of articles looking back at the institute’s early days, and interviewed some of its longer-term members. Some of them will appear in the remaining issues of this year. Last year, we invited editors of IMS journals to contribute “introductory articles” to new issues of their journals and to nominate interesting journal articles for our Members’ Discovery section. AOAS responded favorably, but other journal editors were unable to contribute. We invited several authors of recently published articles in the IMS journals to contribute extended abstracts aimed at broader audience for inclusion in the Member’s Discovery section, but questions were raised by IMS Executive Committee members about the lack of a well-established selection criterion. As a result, we did not pursue this direction further. This is Xuming’s fourth year as the Bulletin Editor. His term ends this year. As soon as the new editor is appointed, he will work with the new editor for a smooth transition. The Bulletin is available in print and PDF format. Printed copied are mailed (circulation remains just under 5,000) around the first day of the month of issue, and the PDF version is uploaded to the website, http://bulletin.imstat.org, usually a couple of weeks before that. Members are alerted to the contents via the monthly IMS e-bulletin email, and also from a link on the front page of the IMS website. The PDF version of the Bulletin is downloaded on average about 2,500 times per issue (though with very wide variation — one issue, June 2007, has been downloaded over 140,000 times, perhaps due to an article about impact factors, ironically!). As ever, we rely very much on IMS members to volunteer their news. We invite all members, and particularly Council members, to be proactive in this area. If you can write or solicit an article, or even just come up with an idea for an article, we will be happy to discuss it with you. Please don’t be shy! We receive occasional feedback (mostly positive), which is very welcome, but we do like to engage with readers. If anyone has comments, suggestions or feedback, please email bulletin@ imstat.org.

Timo Sepp¨al¨ainen

1 Editorial board

The current chief editors for EJP (Bálint Tóth)and ECP (Timo Seppäläinen)took over in the beginning of 2009. At that point the joint editorial board of these journals had 23 associate editors, counting Ph. Carmona who doubles as the managing editor but exclud- ing C. Burdzy who provides technical support. Six AEs took the opportunity to resign (H.-O. Georgii, G. Grimmett, F. den Hollander, I. Karatzas, Y. Peres and R. Williams). (Actually some of these AEs may have already resigned somewhat earlier.) The outgo- ing chief editors (A. Greven, D. Nualart) agreed to stay on as AEs and the new CEs have brought in six new AEs (N. Gantert, P. Mörters, N. O’Connell, R. Pinsky, B. Rider, S. Sethuraman). So currently the board has 25 AEs. The current editorial board is listed in the report from Tóthso I shall not repeat it here.

2 Impressions

The work of the editorial board is of impressively high quality. Our decisions to accept and reject are justiﬁed rigorously. Some AE’s go well beyond the call of duty to help authors improve their papers. The title “Electronic Communications” seems to suggest to some authors that ECP is a place for small notes of low importance or extended exercise-level calculations. The Chief Editor has sought to gently educate authors about the standards of ECP when appropriate. It is clear that ECP rejects good papers that deserve a place in the literature. On this point EJP Chief Editor A. Greven wrote in his 2006 report: “There seems to be the need for a journal publishing correct and well-written articles which do not have a high level of novelty of the mathematics but might still be useful as reference.” I second his view.

3 Data

After some years of rapid increase the number of submissions to ECP appears to have leveled. In particular, ECP has not experienced the surge of submissions that EJP has seen in the ﬁrst half of 2010. 2010 ECP submissions are coming in at close to the 2009 rate: 78 in January-June 2010 versus 81 for the ﬁrst six months of 2009. The table shows the numbers of submitted and published papers since the inception of ECP.

Year Submissions Published 2009 156 57 2008 169 61 2007 141 44 2006 93 34 2005 71 30 2004 67 20 2003 51 21 2002 34 22 2001 34 12 2000 22 17 1999 30 14 1998 17 12 1997 12 7 1996 10 9 1995 7

Table 1: Number of submissions to ECP each year since its inception, and number of papers published each year.

Of the 156 submissions in 2009 all but one have received at least the first report. 46 have received a provisional or final acceptance so the final acceptance rate will be in the range 0.29–0.30. One submission was withdrawn by the author before any editorial action and 108 were rejected. Here are the average and median times to first report:

median time to ﬁrst report average time to ﬁrst report accepted papers 117.5 days 116.2 days rejected papers 3 days 27.6 days

The low median for rejected papers comes from quick rejections by the CE. At the slow end there were 6 accepted papers that took 200–245 days and 3 rejected papers that took 170–173 days.

In summary, ECP appears to be in good health, thanks to the sustained eﬀorts of all the editors involved, past and present. CURRENT INDEX TO STATISTICS

1 For papers where a decision has been reached, the acceptance rate is 5/41 = 0.12. The acceptance should be substantially higher for papers now in review. The IMS and Bernoulli Society agreed to move the Electronic Journal of Statistics from the OJS (Open Journal System) to the EJMS (Electronic Journal Management System) at the beginning of my term as editor. I find the EJMS easy to use, although it took some time to learn and some of the associate editors and referees are having difficulties uploading reports. I am working with Geri Mattson to help educate the reviewers. With the EJMS, I find no need for an editorial assistant. For papers that have received an initial decision, the median time to that decision was 28 days. For papers awaiting a first decision, the median time they have been in review is 43 days.

2 Probability Surveys 2010 Report

Readers of this report are invited to contribute to Probability Surveys I believe it is common ground that survey journals are of great potential value: well sculpted reviews can have a notable effect on a field. That said, it can be hard to distract individuals from their research for sufficiently long to elicit a survey paper. The support of readers of this report is solicited in this quest. Volume 6 (2009) contained 3 papers totalling a modest 89 pages. The current Volume 7 (2010) includes at the time of writing 5 papers totalling 206 pages. One paper is under active consideration and there are a number of further papers that I hope will be submitted in the near future (not to mention unsolicited works). All papers are refereed. This survey journal operates quite differently in various regards from the research journals. A major editorial activity is spreading the word, which the editorial board pursues through personal contact and public ad- vertisement. Full page advertisements have been placed in the IMS Bulletin and in Bernoulli News. Personal contact is made with in excess of 50 possible authors per year, and in addition we make public announcements at conferences. Summer school lecturers (and similar) receive invitations to submit accounts of their courses. Relations with vtex are very cordial and effective.

1 Report on Statistics Surveys January 2010 - June 2010

Lutz Dumbgen,¨ Executive Editor (IMS)

Changes of editorial board(s). Statistics Surveys is run jointly by the American Statistical Association (ASA), the Institute of Mathematical Sta- tistics (IMS), the Bernoulli Society (BS) and the Statistical Society of Cana- da (SSC). Coordinating editor is Wendy L. Martinez. The current executive editors are:

ASA: Susan Holmes (Stanford). Susan has asked to be replaced by someone else a long time ago. The ASA publications committee is still searching for a replacement. Wendy Martinez is on that committee, and they are expecting to appoint a new EE this summer.

BS: Sara A. van de Geer (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Zurich).¨ Sara took over from Elja Arjas in June.

IMS: Lutz Dumbgen¨ (University of Bern). I took over from Jon A. Wellner in January.

SSC: Richard Lockhart (Simon Fraser University).

Concerning the board of associate editors appointed by IMS, Tony Cai and Michael Korosok stepped down, but Donglin Zeng (UNC Chapel Hill) entered the team.

Submissions and publications in 2010. So far we had seven submission this year. After initial screening, I declined three of them because they were clearly inappropriate. The four others have been assigned to associate editors by Wendy Martinez and myself.

So far, four papers have been published in 2010, all of them submitted in 2009. Three more papers submitted in 2009 have been reviewed positively with minor revisions pending.

1 Extrapolating to the end of 2010, we may have a small increase in submissions and publications. The numbers of publications in previous years have been: Volume 1 (2007): 2 Volume 2 (2008): 6 Volume 3 (2009): 5.

Journal management system. Currently we are using the system “i- journals” (www.i-journals.org). It is diﬃcult to use, lacking transparency, and we are concerned a little about safety. This alone would be a good reason to switch to EJMS, which is also used by the other IMS journals, by Bernoulli and, recently, by the Electronic Journal of Statistics.

Switching to EJMS would also increase the visibility of Statistics Surveys in our community.

Re: Final Report of the Committee

The Committee received nominations for 44 candidates. After some discussion on the candidates, we had three rounds of voting, which ended up with 13 elected fellows. A final voting approved the list of these 13, and it was decided to discontinue further voting. The following is the list of elected fellows: Somnath Datta

David Dunson Marc G. Genton Tilmann Gneiting Shige Peng

Peihua Qiu Timo Seppalainen Gabor J. Szekely

Ajit C. Tamhane David van Dyk Jia-An Yan Youhong Yang

Donglin Zeng

Then, we prepared citations for the elected fellows and the resulting file was approved by the committee.

Overall, the committee members worked well together, and Elyse Gustafson was most helpful with the files and answers to our questions.

Two comments: Of the original 12 members of the committee, we had only 10 participating in the election process; one had resigned before the committee started its work, and another never replied to initial emails. Second, the committee’s membership was highly skewed toward statisticians; I was the only probabilist in the committee. I do not think that this imbalance affected the results, but it made me feel lonely.

I have two suggestions for future consideration. First, it would make the committee’s work go easier if the committee were to include about 4 probabilists and 8 statisticians. Second, the probabilists should somehow be encouraged to nominate more of their kind. They should be more engaged in IMS.

The IMS‐China, a subsidiary of Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS), is governed by the rules and regulations of the IMS. This report summarizes activities of the IMS‐China since 06/11/2009.

1) Memberships

As of July 1, 2009, the IMS‐China has 212 members.

2) Election

The main focus of the IMS‐china is its election of officers. The election of IMS‐China officers for 2010‐2012 has been completed through electrical ballot by July 1, with the official result to be published shortly. The election procedure follows practice of the IMS. This assures smooth transition.

3) IMS‐China membership due

Issues concerning the membership due have been resolved.

4) Meeting

The IMS‐China is a co‐ sponsor of the International Conference In Memory of Kai Lai Chung, June 13‐16, 2010, Beijing. The IMS‐china contributes 10000 YMB toward organizing the conference.

The third IMS‐China meeting will take place in Xian, 2011. The planning committee has started to work on various issues.

5) Financial statement

I am unable to obtain a financial statement from the Treasury of the IMS‐China at this moment.

Report of the Memorials Committee

This has been the third year of Memorials Committee activity after a period of some years that saw little. This year's Committee has consisted of Robert Adler, Paul Embrechts, Geoffrey Grimmett, and Don Ylvisaker.

An Annals of Probability issue dedicated to J. L. Doob appeared last fall, the first such IMS dedication in several years. Others planned, each having prior Council approval, are as follows: an issue of the Annals of Probability dedicated to Ted Harris (Ken Alexander, Organizer); an issue of the Annals of Applied Statistics dedicated to Leo Breiman (Bin Yu, Organizer); an issue of the Annals of Probability dedicated to Oded Schramm (Itai Benjamini, Organizer); an issue of Statistical Science dedicated to David Freedman (Terry Speed, Organizer): an issue of the Annals of Statistics dedicated to Erich Lehmann (Annals of Statistics Editors).

We anticipate that most of these efforts will come to fruition in the next year.

In another direction, the Committee discussed the desirability of putting obituaries of members on the IMS website, with even the possibility that members be able to add personal remembrances to them. As much early Institute history is in danger of being lost, the Committee has put forward an informal proposal that such steps be considered. Our understanding is that the Executive Council has this proposal under discussion.

Comments and suggestions for Committee consideration are always welcome.

Don Ylvisaker Chair Report from 2009-10 Nominations Committee

The committee proposed a slate of candidates in late February. The comments below may be useful to the members of the next committee.

(a) While a big effort had been made to broaden the geographical/intellectual/ cultural base of nominations committee, I felt that this was a mixed success, perhaps because some of the members who might have brought a different perspective didn't contribute as much as was hoped. Reasons for this include email trouble–messages to one member always bounced, and no other working address for him could be found; inexperience–at least one member didn't feel able to comment on any proposed names because they were unknown to him; and perhaps one or two were culturally uncomfortable discussing potential nominees, even in confidential emails. While I think it is essential to continue this effort to broaden the committee, it is essential that all members appreciate how they will be expected to contribute when they agree to serve.

(b) It is particularly important to look beyond the usual candidates when seeking candidates from under-represented groups. For example, we made a big effort to think of suitable women, but once we began to whittle down our long-list we realized that most of those proposed had already served the IMS in at least one capacity, or currently hold leadership roles in sister organizations. Unfortunately it was then too late in our process to add more to the slate.

(c) We used a modified version of the IMS voting rules to choose our slate, as we had a much larger field than would be usual for other committees, and felt that we needed enough votes to enable our members to express a reasonable number of preferences.

(d) Despite its considerable benefits, use of Basecamp for a short-term committee such as this may be more trouble than it's worth, as many members will use ordinary email, leading to parallel discussions inside and outside the system.

A. C. Davison 16 June 2010 Report of the Committee to Select Administrative Officers June 2010

Treasurer. This committee recommended the appointment of Jean Opsomer, of Colorado State University, and this has already been approved by Council. When the committee was formed in the fall of 2009 it was mentioned that the IMS would normally like to have at least one woman on the executive committee. We hope that this will continue to be the case but for our charge Jean Opsomer seemed exceptionally well qualified. We do think it is a concern for the IMS that in the list of honours and activities women are rather scarce on the ground, and perhaps the executive could continue to keep this on the agenda.

Submitted on behalf of the committee,

Nancy Reid (Chair)
