Statistics Consulting Service


Effective Fall 2007:
This service is unavailable until further notice. Please accept our apologies, and thank you for your patience.


What is the Statistics Consulting Service?

The UC Denver Department of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences operates this service, in which statistics faculty are available as consultants by appointment.

Projects in any field are accepted. Areas of statistical expertise include:

  • Exploratory data analysis ("data mining")
  • Spatial statistics
  • Interlaboratory studies
  • Industrial statistics (e.g., product/process control)
  • Engineering statistics (e.g., experimental design)
  • Robust and nonparametric methods
  • Climate modeling
  • You may contact the Statistics Consulting Service for statistical advice at any stage of your research. However, most clients find it most beneficial to contact us in the early stages of the study so that issues of sample size, experimental design, and efficient utilization of resources can be addressed, before the study is actually run.

    What is the charge for a consultation?

    UC Denver Graduate students: free (thesis or dissertation only)

    All others pay a nominal fee, depending upon affiliation (UC Denver faculty / Government, Non-profit / Corporate) For rate information email dana.franklin@cudenver.edu.
