Abstract:
|
In most masters' programs students are taught experimental design, the mathematical foundations and applications of commonly used statistical methods. Yet, the majority of professional positions requires effective consulting practices. The new statistician is expected to communicate technical concepts to audiences with varying statistical backgrounds. Many programs, especially doctoral programs have a course in statistical consulting. This poster will present an overview of the pedagogy used for training statistical consulting in universities and colleges in the United States.
