Statistics 697SC - ST- Statistical Consulting

This class focuses on skills statisticians need to bring their classroom knowledge to practical problems. Half of the class will meet concurrently with the Statistical Consulting Practicum, and be focused around real consulting problems brought in by clients. The other half will explore in greater depths methods, techniques, and approaches useful in practical problems but not usually covered in the standard curriculum. Specific topics covered may vary slightly based on the mix of clients this semester, but may include methods like power analysis, missing data, practical mixed models, and practical model selection and interpretation, as well as soft skills like maintaining professional relationships, asking questions, listening, and communicating with non-statisticians. Wherever possible, content will be motivated by specific current or past consulting projects.

Prerequisite: STAT 525, or STAT 625 or similar regression class or permission of instructor
