[R-sig-Geo] JSS call for papers: Special issue on Spatial Statistics, deadline Jun 1 2013

[Edzer Pebesma]

The Journal of Statistical Software (JSS) now reached an impact factor 
of over 4., and recently ended highest in the category "statistics and 
probability" on the ISI web of knowledge ranking [1].

Special issues of JSS are very popular and get a lot of citations [2]. 
We now invite papers for a special issue of the Journal of Statistical 
Software on "Spatial Statistics". The conditions are the regular ones of 
JSS submissions [3], but the paper should in addition focus on (some 
area of) spatial statistics, e.g.

- geostatistics
- lattice data
- point pattern analysis
- Gaussian Markov random fields in spatial statistics
- spatio-temporal statistics

Authors who intend to submit an article for this special issue are 
strongly encouraged to submit paper title, authors, and a preliminary 
abstract to edzer.pebesma at uni-muenster.de before Mar 1, 2013.

Guest editors for this special issue are:
   Edzer Pebesma
   Paulo Justiniano Ribeiro Jr
   Roger Bivand

Deadline for papers is Jun 1, 2013.
