The quantitative psychology area is very excited to formally offer open office hours for statistical consulting. Senior quantitative psychology students will be rotating through the statistical consultant role and we hope to offer continuous statistical consulting for faculty, graduate students, postdocs, research staff, and undergraduates conducting independent research in the Department of Psychology at UCLA.
The statistical consultants role will be to provide open meeting time to provide advice and suggestions for analyses, they will not be conducting statistical analyses with individual research team’s data. The statistical consultants can:
- Answer questions about specific statistical analyses
- Brainstorm with researchers on the most appropriate analyses for their data
- Evaluate and provide feedback on current analyses
- Work through statistical analyses with you during a meeting
- Read and provide feedback on research products (but they should be sufficiently short that reading and feedback can occur in a 1 hour meeting)
The statistical consultants will not:
- Conduct data analyses with your data outside of the consulting time
- Assist with coursework or class assignments
- Write any part of a research product
Statistical consulting will not be offered during the winter quarter of 2025. The current plan is to offer consulting hours during the spring quarter. Please direct questions to the following email: quantconsult@psych.ucla.edu.
