Journal of Nonparametric Statistics provides a medium for the publication of research and survey work in nonparametric statistics and related areas. The scope includes, but is not limited to the following topics:
Nonparametric modeling
Nonparametric function estimation
Rank and other robust and distribution-free procedures
Resampling methods
Lack-of-fit testing
Multivariate analysis
Inference with high-dimensional data
Dimension reduction and variable selection
Methods for errors in variables, missing, censored, and other incomplete data structures
Inference of stochastic processes
Sample surveys
Time series analysis
Longitudinal and functional data analysis
Nonparametric Bayes methods and decision procedures
Semiparametric models and procedures
Statistical methods for imaging and tomography
Statistical inverse problems
Financial statistics and econometrics
Bioinformatics and comparative genomics
Statistical algorithms and machine learning.


Both the theory and applications of nonparametric statistics are covered in the journal. Research applying nonparametric methods to medicine, engineering, technology, science and humanities is welcomed, provided the novelty and quality level are of the highest order.

Authors are encouraged to submit supplementary technical arguments, computer code, data analysed in the paper or any additional information for online publication along with the published paper.
