Special Issue (IJAR) in Memory of Thomas Augustin
We are editing a special issue in the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning (IJAR) honoring the late Thomas Augustin, who sadly passed away in January this year. In order to pay homage to his rich scientific legacy, this special issue is devoted to papers broadly related to his work, particularly to Thomas’ deep contributions to statistics and imprecise probabilities.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Statistical inference with imprecise data and/or imprecise probabilities
- Decision making under severe uncertainty
- Machine learning with imprecise information
- Partial identification and analysis of deficient data
- Imprecise probabilities for survey and official statistics
- Philosophical foundations and history of imprecise probabilities
- Imprecision and indeterminacy in probabilities in applied statistics
- Philosophical foundations and history of statistics
- Measurement error models with and without imprecise probabilities
Submission deadline: December 31, 2026
