The first Special Issue on this topic comprised 56 research papers spread over two-and-a-half volumes, viz. vol.67 (June 1985, 279pp.), vol.70 (October 1985, 369pp.), and the second half of vol.82 (October 1986, pp.143-279). It was edited by Ingram Olkin, C. Radhakrishna Rao and George P.H. Styan. The aim then and again now is to focus attention on those areas of statistics and probability where methods from linear algebra and matrix theory are relevant, interpreted in a broad sense. Such areas include (but are not limited to) regression analysis, design of experiments, multivariate analysis, time series analysis, decision theory, sampling and distribution theory, reliability theory, and Markov chains. Group representations, graphs and networks, generalized inverses of matrices, separation theorems and singular values of matrices, Kantorovich inequalities and Chebychev-type generalizations, stochastic orderings, generalized projectors, limits of eigenvalues of random matrices, and Petrie matrices are some of the topics in linear algebra which have had a significant impact on, and/or which are motivated by, problems in statistics and probability. Contributions are now invited. Papers should be suitable for publication in this journal, and will be refereed in the usual way. The deadline for submission of papers is 30 September 1988, with expected publication in late 1989. Papers should be sent (three copies please) to any one of these three Special Editors: Michael D.
