News on the Applied Statistics Lab (ASL)

 A “lean” version of the ASL is up and running!  There are three faculty directors of the ASL: Arne Bathke (Director, email: arne@uky.edu), Connie Wood (Assoc. Dir. with focus on Statistics in Agricultural Research, email: cwood@email.uky.edu), and Heather Bush (Assoc. Director with focus on Statistics in Medical Research, email: heather.bush@uky.edu).  You can contact them directly (e.g., via email) to describe the statistical question or problem.  For standard questions, the problem will be referred by one of the directors to one of the (currently) four ASL graduate student research assistants under the supervision of the respective faculty director. For complex analyses the faculty directors will take a more active role directly in the analysis and, as appropriate, enlist other faculty members in the Department of Statistics and Biostatistics. In this latter approach, the hope is that the question is sufficiently novel to develop into a collaborative grant application and a sustained research collaboration. One of the consultants, Xiaofei Wang, a PhD student in Economics, will cover consulting on Stata issues.
