Consulting Service - Fall 2009

The Department of Statistics operates a consulting service in which advanced graduate students, under faculty supervision, are available as consultants during specified hours. The consulting service for Fall 2009 will start around the second week of classes under the direction of Professor Philip Stark. The service is associated with the course Statistics 272 which may be taken for credit.

You are encouraged to use this service for statistical advice at any stage of your research. You are especially encouraged to come in early in your research so that the consultants may be helpful at the design stage. While not required, we recommend that you help us give you more effective service by writing a short description (one paragraph to two pages) of your problem, and either bring it with you or, preferably, send it ahead of time to Professor Philip Stark. Users are also encouraged to email an outline of their inquiry to one of the people who work at the time they intend to attend.

Consulting is free to members of the campus community. For-profit organizations may be charged after the first hour. Some problems may be outside our scope; if so, we will not provide service beyond the initial consultation.

Professor Philip Stark is in charge for the Fall Semester 2009.

Consultant Hours:

To save time for yourself, please email the consultant to secure a time slot before coming to the service. Please put "Consulting" in the subject line of your email. The consulting service is held in room 443 Evans. It has happened in the past that clients who had not made a reservation had to wait and sometimes come back in the following week.
