The Statistical Consulting Service of the School of Statistics at the University of Minnesota has worked on thousands of projects with University researchers, including everything from questions that can be answered on the spot to harder research questions that can take months or even years of collaboration.

We provide service both by appointment and in our Statistical Clinic, staffed by Statistics graduate students and supervised by the Statistical Consulting Manager on the St. Paul campus.

We are eager to talk to any University faculty, staff, student, or administrator about research issues. We also provide statistical consulting services on a fee-for-service basis for government, non-profit organizations, and for businesses. Select a link at left for more information.

New Location

We have moved! Our new location is 48 McNeal Hall on the St. Paul campus.

Status of Statistical Consulting on the St. Paul Campus

With the end of spring semester, statistical consulting supported by Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station funds through the School of Statistics will come to an end. Discussions for continued support for consulting from CFANS, CBS, CVM, and CDes after this semester are on-going, and we are hopeful for a solution that will allow us to continue our service.

To maintain continuity while the funding issue is being resolved, we will offer some service in summer 2009 with School of Statistics funds. The consulting will be done by Aaron Rendahl, the Statistics Consulting Manager.
