Statistical Consulting

Regressions keeping you up at night? Maybe SPSS is behaving erratically again? Let ISERP's Applied Statistics Center help. We offer free statistical consulting to faculty, graduate students, and others in the Columbia community who are engaged in social science and public policy research.

We offer several ways of getting statistical help:

• On Wednesdays and Thursdays from 2:30pm-5:30pm, several of us are available in the Playroom*. You can stop in during that time with any questions and we will direct you to the right place.


• To arrange a consultation, just e-mail us. One of our statistical consultants will get back to you, generally within one business day. Unfortunately, inquiries cannot be taken by phone.
  
  So that you're assigned the right consultant for the job, please make a note of the following in your e-mail:
  • Your department or organization at Columbia;
  • Nature of the data for your research;
  • Statistical methods or models with which you intend to analyze your data;
  • Software package(s) are you using;
  • Your hypotheses.

* The Applied Statistics Playroom is in International Affairs Building, room 707.
