Statistical Consulting Schedule
The ATS Statistical Consulting Group offers the following statistical consulting services to UCLA faculty,
staff and graduate students working on research projects. There is no charge for any of these services.
- Also see
our Statistical Consulting Services page.
- Walk-in consulting -
UCLA researchers can drop in to walk in consulting to ask questions
about statistical computing.
- Location - DCP/Stat Lab, 4919 Math Sciences (see
#5 at http://map.ais.ucla.edu/go/1004110)
Please note that in some directories, the Math Sciences building is denoted
as MSA.
- Schedule
- Mon, Tue, Thu 10-12 & 2-4, Wed 2-4
- See detailed consulting schedule below
- Please note that our policy does not permit us to assist undergraduates
or to assist anyone with any class-related work or project. If you
need assistance with your coursework, please contact the TA or professor for
the class.
-
We do not make appointments. UCLA researchers
are welcome to come to our walk-in consulting.
- Sometimes researchers must
wait for a consultant to become available. We regret asking clients to
wait, but we try to give all clients the time necessary to completely answer
the questions that have brought them to consulting.
- What to bring with you when you come to walk-in consulting
- Data security - We strongly encourage our clients to take
necessary steps to ensure the privacy of their subjects. This includes
following all relevant UCLA OPRS
and/or IRB rules and regulations regarding the redaction of personal or
sensitive data from working data sets. In many cases, we will not be
able to assist a researcher who has personal or sensitive information about
their subjects in their data file. We also ask that researchers do not
leave any data files on the computers in the consulting office, and that flash drives
are not left behind.
- Data sets/syntax - Most of the time, it is easier for consultants to
identify problems or issues if a client brings sample data sets and/or
syntax files.
You can upload your sample data sets/syntax files to a flash drive and
bring your flash drive with you, or you can bring your laptop.
Email consulting - UCLA researchers can send questions about statistical computing
to
. Questions are answered
within 1-2 business days.
