Service-Oriented Statistics: What Can Students Do?

摘要

Service-oriented statistical consulting is a natural way for statisticians to help meet societal needs. StatCom is a pro-bono statistical consulting group that originated in 2001 in the department of statistics at Purdue University. The Purdue branch of StatCom is run and staffed by graduate students in the department and includes statistics undergraduate students and graduate students from other departments (e.g., sociology and computer science).
