Consulting in Statistics and Statistical Programming

The Odum Institute maintains a statistical consulting service, staffed by advanced graduate students, who are on call in the Odum Institute computer laboratories to answer routine statistical and programming questions. To contact the graduate student assistants, please e-mail odum.lab.consultants@unc.edu. In addition, several members of the Institute staff -- Cathy Zimmer and Chris Wiesen -- have more advanced expertise in statistical data analysis. These staff members offer individual consultations at all stages of the research process.
