CSSS provides free statistical consulting to current UW faculty, staff, and students working on social science problems. We offer guidance at any stage of a project -- from study design and planning through the selection and interpretation of statistical models.
We provide the following services:
- Assistance with study planning and design
- Assistance with the choice of statistical methods
- Assistance with the application and interpretation of statistical methods
- Advice on data visualization and presentation
- Development of specialized statistical methods
To schedule an appointment, check the current quarter’s Consulting Hours.
Please note that CSSS does not provide consultation on how to use statistical software, but we are happy to assist with statistical questions or concepts that may be connected to computing (e.g., model selection and interpretation). For help with coding in R, Stata, SAS, SPSS, Python, or other statistical software, you may want to contact the Center for Social Science Computation & Research (CSSCR). You may also consider for your needs other statistical consulting services including those of the Departments of Statistics and Biostatistics; a list of biomedical statistical consulting services can be found here.
If you are not sure whether your question is appropriate for CSSS consulting, please do not hesitate to contact us at csss-consult@uw.edu and we can help you decide!
