Probabilists and fuzzy enthusiasts tend to disagree about which philosophy is best. As a result, textbooks usually suggest only one of these methods for problem solving, but not both. This book is an exception - it provides a practical guide showing that both fuzzy logic and probability have their place in the world of problem solving.

Sport and statistics collide in this collection of articles (from American Statistical Association publications) on using statistics to analyze sport.

Takes the reader step by step through the techniques of eliciting and analysing expert judgment, with special attention given to helping the reader develop elicitation methods and tools adaptable to a variety of unique situations and work areas.
