Consulting Process

Initial Meeting

All statistical consultations begin with a free initial meeting between the new client and a faculty member of the Statistical Consulting Group.

The initial meeting is a chance to get acquainted and for the SCG staff to become familiar with your line of work and your specific issues. We recommend that you bring background material and data, if available. In this meeting, we work together to develop a common vision of what needs to be done. This helps us to provide you with accurate price estimates.

Deliverables

If you decide to use our services, the SCG staff will take care of all agreed-upon aspects of the statistical process. We will write a comprehensive report report of our findings and we will also meet with you to explain the results in ways that are easy to understand.
