Abstract

We review the past year and this Editor-in-Chief's editorship for the last six annual volumes in this issue's “From the Editors” column, which is coauthored with Managing Editor Kelly M. Kophazi, and then we preview this issue's research articles. Our first article, by Dorota Kurowicka is on “Conditionalization of Copula-Based Models.” The next three papers address groups or teams. First is “A Note on a Group Preference Axiomatization with Cardinal Utility,” by Luis C. Dias and Paula Sarabando. Next, Andrew Samuel and Seth D. Guikema address “Resource Allocation for Homeland Defense: Dealing with the Team Effect.” Then, Arthur Carvalho and Kate Larson present a way for “Sharing Rewards Among Strangers Based on Peer Evaluations.” Finally, Jeffrey M. Keisler and Patrick S. Noonan provide guidance for decision analysis practice in “Communicating Analytic Results: A Tutorial for Decision Consultants.”
