Help with statistics & GIS
Statistical Consultants work in a question-and-answer mode to help people with particular questions that come up in their research or classroom activities using statistical software, statistical methodologies, and geographic information systems. Consultants can offer advice about questions like these:
- "How should I enter to my data?"
- "What statistical program is best for my project?"
- "How do I get the program to run the analysis I want?"
- "Can you help me clean my data?"
- "How can I create a map or other visual representation from my data?"
