Reference excerpt

The Revista Colombiana de Estadística (English: Colombian Journal of Statistics) is a biannual peer-reviewed scientific journal on statistics published by the National University of Colombia. It covers research on statistics, including applications, statistics education, and the history of statistics.

History The Revista Colombiana de Estadística was established in 1968. During the first years, the journal only published papers in Spanish but since 1985 it also publishes papers in English. The journal stopped publication between 1969 and 1979. In 1979, it was relaunched by Luis Thorin and since 1981 the publication has been continuous with two issues per year. Recently, since 2011 the Journal only publishes articles in English language.

Abstracting and indexing The Revista Colombiana de Estadística is abstracted and indexed in Scopus, SciELO, Current Index to Statistics, Mathematical Reviews, Zentralblatt MATH, Redalyc, Latindex, and Publindex (category A1). According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2014 impact factor of 0.179.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Revista Colombiana de Estadística

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Revista Colombiana de Estadística claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In mathematics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Revista Colombiana de Estadística before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Revista Colombiana de Estadística ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Revista Colombiana de Estadística

In research: Revista Colombiana de Estadística appears in mathematics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Revista Colombiana de Estadística in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Revista Colombiana de Estadística is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Academic journals established in 1968, Biannual journals, English-language journals, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Revista Colombiana de Estadística outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
