Dear All,
I am sending you the table of contents for the Jan 2008 issue of
Statistica Sinica. In this issue, there are several discussions on
Fygenson's paper "Modeling and predicting extrapolated probabilities
with outlooks," and a short editorial by Dr. Xuming He. Please click
on the "Current Issue" at the following website to access the
editorial:

We are still accepting submissions to the theme topic on multiscale
methods up until February 29th. Please check the journal sites above
for more information.
Sincerely,
Karen Li---on behalf of the Co-editors
