Statistical Software Support and Consulting Services

Statistical Software Support and Consulting Services provides support to users of statistical software throughout the UVM community, as well as general statistical consulting. Located on the first floor of Bailey-Howe Library, these services are provided by Alan Howard (M.S. Biostatistics, 1980), who has been serving users of statistical software at UVM since 1986.

Currently supported statistical software includes:

Note: As of July 1, 2009, UVM will drop its campus-wide license for Minitab and will offer a campus-wide license for JMP, both Windows and Macintosh versions (32-bit version only). We will maintain a limited number of Minitab licenses for those who still require the use of Minitab in their research, but it will no longer be licensed for student use. Minitab can also be purchased or rented from e-academy.com (see "Quick Links" to the right).

Statistical therapy is provided in the following areas:

• experimental design
