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.

• Please see our Statistical Consulting Services page for a description of the services that we offer.
• Walk-in consulting - UCLA researchers can stop by walk-in consulting to ask questions about statistical computing, to borrow or to return books.
  • Location - DCP/Stat Lab, 4919 Math Sciences (see #10 at http://media.ais.ucla.edu/map_labs200901.pdf )
    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
  • We do not assist undergraduates or 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 respectfully request that graduate students limit themselves to one visit to walk-in consulting per day.
  • We do not make appointments.  UCLA researchers are welcome to come to our walk-in consulting.
  • To be as efficient as possible, we ask that clients be as prepared as possible.  This may include clearly defining the questions to be discussed, organizing files, doing descriptive statistics, etc.  We also strongly encourage clients to search our website for answers or partial answers to their questions before coming to walk-in consulting.  
  • Sometimes researchers must wait in line.  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.  You can follow us on Twitter ( http://twitter.com/atsstat/ ) for updates on the number of clients currently waiting in line.
  • What to bring with you when you come to walk-in consulting
    • 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 bring your data on a flash drive, email the files to yourself, or you can bring your laptop. 
    • 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 researchers who have 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.
• Email consulting - UCLA researchers can send questions about statistical computing to . Questions are answered within 2-3 business days.
• Mailing list - If you join the ATSstat-L mailing list , you will receive email about 2-4 times per month announcing updates to the consulting schedule, future classes and seminars, and updates to our web pages.
• Classes and seminars
  • We have over 45 online seminars that you can access 24/7 by visiting our Classes and Seminars.
