The ASA and Wiley InterScience are excited to announce that ASA members now have a new benefit of membership—free online access to Statistical Analysis and Data Mining (SAM).

SAM addresses the broad area of data analysis, including data mining algorithms, statistical approaches, and practical applications. Topics include problems involving massive and complex data sets, solutions using innovative data-mining algorithms and/or novel statistical approaches, and the objective evaluation of analyses and solutions. Of special interest are articles that describe analytical techniques and discuss their application to real problems in such a way that they are accessible to domain experts across science, engineering, and commerce.

The 21st century has become a century of data, with most domains striving to use general models for their mountains of information. Data mining and statistical analysis are among the most effective ways to produce useful models from massive, complex data sets. Statistical Analysis and Data Mining is a resource for those solving practical problems, enabling them to benefit from ideas developed in other domains. It is an international journal with an interdisciplinary focus, covering areas that are becoming increasingly important.
