Statistical Consulting

What topics do you offer consultation on?

We help clients at any stage of the research process. However, our primary focus is on helping clients learn to use statistical and qualitative software. For example, we can work with you on

  • How to use SPSS, SAS, JMP, NVivo, Qualtrics, and R,
  • How to set up, enter, and clean your data files in your software package of choice,
  • How to select the software package that's best for your study, or
  • How to approach methodology, choice of statistical analysis, or interpretation of statistical results.

We will provide advice to researchers about statistical analysis and methodology, but cannot execute any part of the researcher's study on their behalf, nor can we act as principal statisticians or co-authors on a study.

 

What sort of clients do you help?

Our services are available for free to all current KSU faculty, staff, and students. We see many researchers who are designing an experiment or survey; preparing a grant proposal, thesis, or dissertation; writing result sections of papers; or responding to reviewers.

 

What sort of services do you NOT provide?

  • Software installation or renewal of software licenses
  • Statistics tutoring or help with homework
  • Data collection and data entry
  • Data analysis
