SUBJECT: Free Statistical Analyses — UBC Department of Statistics
Dear UBC Graduate Students, Research Staff and Faculty:
As part of our ongoing efforts to bring current research into the classroom and promote interdisciplinary collaborations, the students enrolled in STAT 450 (Case Studies in Statistics) will provide free statistical analyses in Term 2 of 2013-2014. New to the upcoming term, one or two graduate students in STAT 550 (Techniques of Statistical Consulting) will mentor and supervise a group of STAT 450 students, and peer-review their analyses and report. The students will be carrying out this academic activity under the co-supervision of Gabriela Cohen Freue (instructor of STAT 450) and Rollin Brant (instructor of STAT 550). The data will be treated with confidentiality within the courses.
Please consider whether the type of feedback described might be helpful to you. If so, please submit your projects, carefully following the guidelines provided in the announcement attached.
Sincerely,
