Buongiorno a tutti,

segnaliamo (inoltrando il messaggio in calce) due importanti novita'  
nel campo della Statistica Algebrica:
- l'introduzione del codice 62R01 per 'Statistica algebrica' nella  
2020 MSC classification
- il primo volume (numerato 11 in riconoscimento del passato della  
comunita' di Statistica Algebrica) della rivista Algebraic Statistics

============================

Dear friends,

The year 2020 has been very trying for many members of our community,  
but we can't fail to acknowledge two very important milestones for the  
field of algebraic statistics: that the 2020 MSC classification now  
includes 62R01 for 'algebraic statistics', and that a new journal has  
been established!

It is with great pleasure that we announce the availability of the  
first issue of “Algebraic Statistics (AStat)”:

—> https://msp.org/astat <—
DOI: 10.2140/astat.2020.11-1

The first volume---numbered 11 to honour the past work of this  
community---will consist of two issues with a total of 11 papers, 5 of  
which are available online now. The second issue is forthcoming soon.  
AStat will be free to read until the end of 2021; thereafter, it will  
be available through an MSP or Project Euclid subscription.  All  
papers become freely available 5 years after publication.  Our  
publisher, MSP, is a nonprofit corporation based in Berkeley, USA.

We see AStat as a primary forum serving the broad community in a  
focused way. As an interdisciplinary endeavor, by definition, a  
concerted effort will be made for AStat to serve various constituents  
interested in and interacting with algebraic statistics. We invite the  
community to send their best work in algebraic statistics to be  
considered for publication here. This may include contributions which  
connect statistical theory, methodology, or application to the world  
of algebra, geometry, and combinatorics in ways that may not be  
labeled as traditional.

Do enjoy reading the first issue, and we look forward to welcoming  
your contributions to AStat.

On behalf of the entire editorial board,
Sonja and Thomas
Managing Editors of Algebraic Statistics
