Founded in 1971, the Journal of Multivariate Analysis (JMVA) is the central venue for the publication of new, relevant methodology and particularly innovative applications pertaining to the analysis and interpretation of multidimensional data.The journal welcomes contributions to all aspects of multivariate data analysis and modeling, including cluster analysis, discriminant analysis, factor analysis, and multidimensional continuous or discrete distribution theory. Topics of current interest include, but are not limited to, inferential aspects ofCopula modelingFunctional data analysisGraphical modelingHigh-dimensional data analysisImage analysisMultivariate extreme-value theorySparse modelingSpatial statisticsPapers making substantial contributions to regression or time series analysis for multidimensional response variables are also invited. Submissions dealing with univariate models, including regression models with a single response variable and univariate time series models, are deemed to fall outside the journal's remit.JMVA is particularly interested in papers motivated by, and fit for, contemporary multivariate data analytic challenges. Methods should be validated through standard mathematical arguments that may be complemented with asymptotic arguments or computer-based experiments. Illustrations with relevant, original data are strongly encouraged when presented with clear contextual justification and explanation.Papers whose content is probabilistic in nature or whose main contribution is to substantive areas (e.g., actuarial science, biostatistics, economics, finance or hydrology) typically fall outside the journal's scope and will only be considered for publication if the statistical methodology used is both novel and broadly applicable. Finally, note that contributors to multivariate survival analysis, reliability theory and statistical quality control should submit their papers to journals specializing in these areas to ensure that their work reaches the targeted audience.

《多元分析雜志》(JMVA)成立于1971年，是出版與多維數據分析和解釋有關的新的、相關的方法和特別創新應用的中心場所。該雜志歡迎對多元數據分析和建模的所有方面的貢獻，包括聚類分析、判別分析、因子分析和多維連續或離散分布理論。當前感興趣的主題包括(但不限于)的推理方面介體建模功能數據分析圖形化建模高維數據分析圖像分析多變量極值理論稀疏的建模空間統計也歡迎對多維響應變量的回歸或時間序列分析作出重大貢獻的論文。涉及單變量模型的提交，包括具有單個響應變量的回歸模型和單變量時間序列模型，被認為不在該期刊的研究范圍之內。JMVA對受當代多元數據分析挑戰所激勵并適合的論文特別感興趣。方法應該通過標準的數學參數來驗證，這些參數可以用漸近參數或基于計算機的實驗來補充。當提供清晰的上下文說明和解釋時，強烈建議使用帶有相關原始數據的插圖。內容具有概率論性質或主要貢獻于實質領域(例如精算科學、生物統計學、經濟學、金融學或水文學)的論文通常不在該期刊的范圍之內，只有在使用的統計方法既新穎又廣泛適用時才會考慮出版。最后，請注意，多變量生存分析、可靠性理論和統計質量控制的貢獻者應該將他們的論文提交給專門研究這些領域的期刊，以確保他們的工作達到目標受眾。
