Statistical Courses & Support
The Applied Statistics & Data Group (ASDa)
The Applied Statistics and Data Science Group (ASDa) within the UBC Department of Statistics is a general statistical consulting and research collaboration unit offering statistical expertise to UBC-affiliated faculty and students, as well as to off-campus clients. ASDa (previously known as SCARL, the Statistical Consulting and Research Lab) has supported clients from various different disciplines at UBC ever since the formation of the Department of Statistics in 1983. They provide several different types of services, including:
- Assisting the statistical formulation of research questions
- Creating study designs or conducting sample size calculations
- Planning and justifying statistical methodology for studies
- Performing statistical analyses and interpreting the final results
- Developing publication-ready graphics and visualizations
- Offering statistics and research education seminars and workshops to departments
ASDa and Other Statistical Support
If you’re seeking statistical support, there are several different opportunities and resources available to you from ASDa throughout each academic year, such as:
- Fee-for-service consultation with an ASDa consultant on a project/request basis. For UBC-affiliated faculty and students, the hourly rate is $120/hr.
- The Statistical Opportunity for Students (SOS) program allows graduate students to receive one hour of free statistical consultation, with a written meeting summary following the meeting.
- Other free statistical consultation opportunities offered each year by ASDa and the UBC Department of Statistics, such as the STAT 450/550 and 551 statistical consulting practicum courses.
- The annual free webinar series on “Fundamentals of Statistics” and recently developed webinar series on “Reproducible Research”, as hosted by Graduate Pathways to Success.
- R Workshops as offered by ASDa or their collaborators (such as UBC Library Research Commons).
If you’d like to learn more about the services that ASDa provides, please visit the ASDa website or contact them directly at asda@stat.ubc.ca.
