StatsClinic

Thank you for visiting the StatsClinic query submission form. We are here to help researchers from all areas of study across the University of Manchester by providing information and insight into their specific problem and to create long-lasting collaborations. Please be aware that currently the StatsClinic is ran voluntarily by a group of Post-doc Research Associates and PhD statisticians in our spare time and are searching for funding to keep StatsClinic sustainable for the Faculty. Once you have submitted your request, we will allocate you a time slot during one of our StatsClinic sessions to discuss your query in more detail with one of our members face-to-face. This will give us time to perform preliminary research, ask followup questions and get a better idea of your problem.
