Abstract:

Free access to appropriate advice on the use of statistical methods should be available to all university faculty and researchers. A statistical consulting service impacts the teaching, research, and service missions of the university. Working in this environment provides valuable experience for statistics graduate students. The problems encountered provide statisticians with a source of real-world problems that can lead to interesting and important research. The clients receive valuable assistance with their research. We need to create an environment where researchers have confidence that we can enhance their work and enable them to ask new and interesting questions. An active statistical consulting service should open the doors to collaborative research projects, joint publications, and substantial outside funding for the statistician.
