Abstract

We review the past year in this issue's “From the Editors” column, which is coauthored with Managing Editor Kelly M. Kophazi. In our first article, Jason R. W. Merrick and Laura A. McLay ask “Is Screening Cargo Containers for Smuggled Nuclear Threats Worthwhile?” Next, Robert A. Dees, Matthew F. Dabkowski, and Gregory S. Parnell present a “Decision-Focused Transformation of Additive Value Models to Improve Communication.” Our third article, “Valuing Multifactor Real Options Using an Implied Binomial Tree,” is by Tianyang Wang and James S. Dyer. The next article, by the late Samuel Kotz (deceased March 2010) and Johan René van Dorp, is on “Generalized Diagonal Band Copulas with Two-Sided Generating Densities.” In our final article, Ali E. Abbas and János Aczél discuss “The Role of Some Functional Equations in Decision Analysis.”
