Statistics Consulting

The Statistics Consulting Unit provides consulting services to researchers at the University and beyond.

The consultants of the unit are all faculty members in the Department of statistics. If required, consulting can be administered by senior faculty members in the Statistics Department.

The consulting process includes various stages of the research:

Research design, including:

• • Editing the research tools (questionnaires, forms).

  • Experimental planning: sample size calculations, editing experiment protocols.

  • Sampling design: determining the target population and the appropriate sampling method and sample size.

  • Sampling process: random sampling from the target population using the required method.

Data processing and statistical analysis

Data processing and statistical analyses are performed using statistical software such as SAS, R, SPSS and other designated software packages.

Summarizing the research findings is done through tabular and/or graphical presentation, as required.

• Researchers of the University of Haifa are entitled to annual consultation hours at the Statistics Consulting Unit funded by the research authority of the university.
