統(tǒng)計數(shù)學研究所年報旨在為統(tǒng)計學家之間的公開交流提供一個論壇，并為推動統(tǒng)計學作為一門科學的發(fā)展作出貢獻，使人類能夠處理信息，以應對不確定性。它發(fā)表高質(zhì)量的論文，為統(tǒng)計科學的理論、計算和/或方法方面帶來新的啟發(fā)。重點放在(a)發(fā)展以實際數(shù)據(jù)為動力的新方法，(b)發(fā)展統(tǒng)一的理論，和(c)分析和改進現(xiàn)有的方法和理論。

Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics (AISM) aims to provide a forum for open communication among statisticians, and to contribute to the advancement of statistics as a science to enable humans to handle information in order to cope with uncertainties. It publishes high-quality papers that shed new light on the theoretical, computational and/or methodological aspects of statistical science. Emphasis is placed on (a) development of new methodologies motivated by real data, (b) development of unifying theories, and (c) analysis and improvement of existing methodologies and theories.
