UW STATISTICAL CONSULTING SERVICE
About the Consulting Program: This program is a UW course for graduate students in the Departments of Biostatistics and Statistics. Through this course, students learn how to apply their statistical skills to a variety of real-world problems. Most appointments will have three to four consultants in attendance: two to three student trainees and one faculty advisor. Many problems brought to the consulting program require the consultants to research and discuss possible solutions with program colleagues to determine the most appropriate statistical methods or guidance. In these cases, follow-up appointments are typically scheduled. While resources are limited, some collaboration on actual data analyses can be provided on a case-by-case basis, depending on consultant availability, client needs, the size of the problem, and data analysis tasks.
