The statistical consulting service for research students is funded by the Monash Research Graduate School and provided jointly by the Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Postgraduate research students are eligible for up to 10 hours of free statistical assistance over the course of their candidature. If more than ten hours is necessary an hourly fee will be charged. We won't write your thesis for you, but we can help you to plan your data collection, analyse your data, interpret your statistical analysis, present statistical results, and use a statistical package on a computer.
Statistical science covers a broad range of topics, from accounting to zoology.
Research students are encouraged to consult with the service early in the design of an experiment, survey or study. Professional assistance may save you time and money, and help you to avoid common problems in data collection and analysis. Short courses A series of short courses on statistical subjects of relevance to postgraduate students will be offered throughout the year. Seven basic courses will be presented in Semester 1 and repeated in Semester 2. These sessions will be advertised as part of the exPERT Seminar Program .
