STATISTICAL CONSULTING

STAT 628

Provides an understanding of and experience with turning statistics concepts into practice through data science practicums inspired by realistic projects. Combine theory and methods expertise with communications skills to translate from a vaguely stated project description and complex data set into a concisely summarized analysis, including both written and graphical interpretation that can be used by decision makers in an organization.

STAT 990

Independent research and writing for graduate students under the supervision of a faculty member.

STAT 698

Directed study projects as arranged with a faculty member.

STAT 992

Special topics in statistics at the graduate level. Subject matter varies.

STAT 678

Develop statistical consulting skills to be able to communicate design and analysis to non-technical research collaborators. Provides a supportive environment to experiment with statistical consulting in practice, which will sometimes be uncomfortable and strange. Consulting problems typically do not have a "right" answer, and mistakes are encouraged. Take risks in sharing developing ideas in class. Connections with external organizations, such as the private sector and government agencies, will be made through possible internship experiences.
