Abstract: Our first two articles in this issue focus on decision analysis in practice, from charitable decisions to government policy making. Kevin F. McCardle, Kumar Rajaram, and Christopher S. Tang present “A Decision Analysis Tool for Evaluating Fundraising Tiers.” Next, Rex V. Brown draws upon his years as a consultant in “Working with Policy Makers on Their Choices: A Decision Analyst Reminisces.” The next two articles are on aggregating probability judgments from multiple experts. Ali E. Abbas presents “A Kullback-Leibler View of Linear and Log-Linear Pools.” The final article, on “Combining the Opinions of Experts Who Partition Events Differently,” is by Robert F. Bordley. The call for papers on auctions for a special issue in memory of Michael Rothkopf is also included in this issue.
