The Institute of Mathematical Statistics is an international professional and scholarly society devoted to the development, dissemination, and application of statistics and probability. The Institute currently has about 4,000 members in all parts of the world. Beginning in 2005, the institute started offering joint membership with the Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability as well as with the International Statistical Institute. The Institute was founded in 1935 with Harry C. Carver and Henry L. Rietz as its two most important supporters.
The Institute publishes five journals:
Annals of Statistics
Annals of Applied Statistics
Annals of Probability
Annals of Applied Probability

In addition, it co-sponsors:
The Current Index to Statistics
Electronic Communications in Probability
Electronic Journal of Probability
