CMU-Q expands Statistical Consulting Center to include Education City researchers

Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar (CMU-Q), a Qatar Foundation partner university, is expanding its Statistical Consulting Center to researchers in the Education City community.

The center was created in 2019 to support CMU-Q’s faculty, staff and student researchers with data analysis and research design. Co-directors Daniel Phelps and Taeyong Park are now extending the center to researchers at other partner universities.

“We welcome researchers from across Education City to contact us for advice or support on statistics and data analysis for their projects,” said Phelps. “One of the advantages of the Education City multiversity is that we can collaborate and support one another in our academic pursuits.”

The center can assist faculty, student and staff researchers in areas such as research design, psychometrics, statistical modeling and analysis, statistical software and data visualization. The center also runs one or two workshops about statistical data science every semester.

Phelps is area head and associate teaching professor of information systems. Park is an assistant teaching professor of statistics. Both are accepting consultation appointments during the spring 2023 semester.
