We offer statistics and data science help and collaboration. Our services range from planning of pilot studies and surveys, to methodological help with data science, software development for specialized tasks, and data analysis. These services are available to the entire community, including the members of the University of Minnesota and the business community. When working with clients we listen to your needs and work with you to understand the questions and objectives of your study.

Then we help you solve those problems, and work with you until the solutions are reasonable and understandable. We communicate with you about what can, and what cannot, be solved using modern data science methods.
