'''''Annals of Probability''''' is a leading peer-reviewed probability [journal](/source/Academic_journal) published by the [Institute of Mathematical Statistics](/source/Institute_of_Mathematical_Statistics), which is the main international society for researchers in the areas probability and statistics. The journal was started in 1973 as a continuation in part of the ''[Annals of Mathematical Statistics](/source/Annals_of_Mathematical_Statistics)'', which was split into the ''[Annals of Statistics](/source/Annals_of_Statistics)'' and this journal.
