The Statistics Department (with the cooperation of the Biostatistics Dept.) will launch the Applied Statistics Laboratory (ASL), supported by Arts & Sciences and the Office of the Vice President for Research, with Arne Bathke (arne@email.uky.edu) as its director, to provide statistical consulting for the university. The SSTARS Center (i.e., Social Science Teaching and Research Statistics) will be integrated into the ASL. One of the consultants, Xiafei Wang, a PhD student in Economics, will cover consulting on STATA issues. I have every confidence that Xiafei knows her stats and her STATA.
The Applied Statistics Laboratory will not provide consulting for data management, which will be handled by UKIT. Many social scientists have a need for data management services to help them archive data they have collected (e.g., with ICPSR) and post it to their website so other scholars can use it. I’m meeting with Vince Kellen in IT to find out how social science faculty can work with IT to get help with data management. I’ll keep you posted.
