Requirements

Before consultancy, your supervisor has to agree to the planed cooperation with fu:stat. We further reject any consultancy requests if the submission date of your work is less than four weeks ahead. 

Notes regarding the consultancy

  • Please note, that fu:stat is not performing the analysis of your data. fu:stat rather helps finding the right statistical methods, applying it correctly to your data and interpreting the results. However, small example steps of the analysis can be performed together.

  • The amount of consultancy should not exceed three appointments due to capacity reasons.

  • We kindly ask the participant to state the hypotheses, prepare the data and refresh their statistical knowledge prior to the appointment.

  • Before making an appointment you should be familiar with your topic and especially the empirical part of your work. You should precisely state your main questions for which you need our support.
  • Then you can register using the Registration Form. Please fill out the form as detailed as possible. The more information we have regarding your case, the better we can prepare in advance. Don’t hesitate to contact us, if you have any questions concerning the Registration Form. We will contact you after the registration. This can take up to 10 days.
