DuMouchel); (8) "Incorporating Statistical Expertise into Data Analysis Software" (D. Pregibon); (9) "Afternoon Discussion"; and (10) "Closing Remarks" (W. Eddy). Three appendices give brief descriptions of the speakers, position statements of some participants, and a list of all forum participants. (SLD)
