Free Data Analysis Opportunity for Students

Standard

There is a great opportunity that is open to anyone to receive free data analysis through stats students taking STAT 450 next term.  Get your data ready and send a 1-page description of your project (see example) to asda@stat.ubc.ca (by Jan 14th but preferably sooner before the new year).  The stats professors teaching the course will supervise teams of students who will use the term to analyze the data and write an analysis report.  For more details please see the snippets relevant to STAT 450 at https://www.stat.ubc.ca/free-statistical-consultation-202122-1.
