Statistical Consulting Clinic

Statistical advice is available through the Statistical Clinic, located in 390 Ford Hall on the Minneapolis campus for College of Liberal Arts consulting, and in 48C McNeal Hall on the St. Paul campus for all other units. The clinic is staffed by graduate students, faculty, and staff from the School of Statistics, who work collaboratively to solve complex problems. The service is limited to in-person consultations made by appointment; walk-in, telephone, and email consultations are not available.

Our service is free to researchers from sponsored units, currently CLA and CVM. Other researchers may get help at cost. During Summer 2011, other researchers at cost. Limited no-cost consulting will return in the fall.

If you are a student or staff, please also provide the name of your advisor or supervising faculty member, if appropriate.

To make sure your message isn't filtered as spam, please include the phrase "statistical consulting appointment" somewhere in the title or body of the email.

About Us

The Statistical Consulting Clinic is a part of the School of Statistics in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota. It is staffed by graduate students and supervised by faculty and staff from the School of Statistics.

Locations

The Statistical Clinic operates in two locations, in 390 Ford Hall on the Minneapolis campus for CLA consulting, and in 48 McNeal Hall on the St. Paul campus for all other units.

Status of Free Statistical Consulting

During Summer 2011, our no cost consulting is limited to researchers from sponsoring units, currently CLA and CVM, and researchers working grant proposals which include support for statistical services. Other researchers can be seen at cost. Limited no-cost consulting is expected to return in the fall.

To ensure availability for researchers from your college, department, or graduate program, your unit can become a sponsor of this service by funding the portion of our costs proportional to your usage.

For specific projects, the best way to ensure availability of service is to include funding for statistical support in grant proposals.
