| Description: John Tukey once said "the best thing about being a statistician is that you get to play in everyone's backyard" -- but when do statisticians learn how to play nice with others? In Statistical Consulting and Communication, students will implement techniques and methods they have learned elsewhere while simultaneously developing skills for communicating results to peers, collaborators, and clients, including best practices for reproducible research, technical writing, and public speaking. Furthermore, students will learn how to respond to questions commonly asked of statistical consultants, such as study design, sample size computations, and dealing with missing data. Finally, students will consider several aspects of ethics in statistics, including questions on informed consent and data manipulation. |
