Abstract

The main theme of this paper is that mathematical models are inescapable in making selection decisions, and that decisions are likely to be impaired if assumptions underlying these models are ignored. A number of points are raised which seem to be neglected both in many practical discussions and in much research in this field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
