Authors should submit three copies of their paper in English or Russian for Mathematical Methods of Statistics. The manuscripts are to be sent to Editor-in-Chief D.M. Chibisov (Steklov Mathematical Institute, Gubkina 8, 117966 Moscow GSP-1, Russia). For contact use e-mail: chibisov@mi.ras.ru
By submitting a manuscript the authors warrant that they are its sole owners, that it is not currently under consideration by another publication and has not been published or accepted for publication elsewhere, and that any necessary permissions to incorporate materials from other sources have been obtained. The authors also agree that upon acceptance of a manuscript for publication, Allerton Press, Inc. shall be deemed the holder of the entire copyright and the authors further agree to sign a statement acknowledging the transfer of copyright to Allerton.
Each paper must be accompanied by a summary, a list of key words and the address(es) of the author(s). The summary should not exceed 200 words with mathematical formulas kept to minimum.
The paper must begin with an informative introduction presenting the problem under study with an indication of its theoretical significance, a survey of previous works and summary.
The paper should include explanations and illustrations of the results by means of examples, special cases, etc. and should conclude with an informal discussion of results obtained.
Authors who can submit papers in TEX (preferably AMSTEX) are requested to do so.
Complicated indices and exponents should be avoided. Please distinguish between characters of confusion, o, O, 0; 1, l, etc. and point out the desirable type of letters: P or P.
References in the text are indicated by figures in square brackets referring to the list of references to be placed at the end of the paper. The format of references is illustrated here by the following examples:
