To set up an appointment, email us: statlab@virginia.edu. We can work with you in person, over Zoom, or via email.
To help us help you, please describe your research goals and/or any specific questions you have. Keep in mind that it may take a few meetings to completely address certain questions.
We are most comfortable working in R, Stata, SPSS, SAS, and to a lesser extent, Python. Some of our Research Data Service colleagues have expertise in Tableau, Qualtrics, and Dedoose.
We also teach free workshops and write articles and tutorials on various statistical topics.
