Introduction
The Statistical Consulting Unit (SCU) is established by the Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics (MSP) to provide practical statistical solutions to challenging problems arising in academia, industry, business, health and other organizations. We provide statistical advice, analysis, and education to QU and Qatar State researchers by offering individual collaboration meetings, walk-in consulting, educational short courses, and support for interdisciplinary research projects. SCU’s statistical faculties and students are trained to help researchers design experiments, analyze and plot data, run statistical software, interpret results, and communicate statistical concepts to non-statisticians. Our assistance is free for Qatar University faculty, staff, and students on academic research projects.
