We offer statistical consulting for doctoral candidates belonging to the following graduate schools (GAUSS, GGG, GFA, GSGG). The consulting primarily includes provisional assistance with questions regarding data collection, statistical modeling, and statistical inference.

Additionally, the Center for Statistics offers a seminar "Introduction to Statistics for PhD students" every semester. This seminar is aimed exclusively at doctoral candidates from GAUSS, GGG, GFA, or GSGG. Registration for the course takes place on stud.ip and is open one month before the start of the course.

We offer students enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's program at the University of Göttingen statistical consulting for Bachelor's, seminar, or Master's theses. The consulting includes, in particular, questions regarding the selection of an appropriate model or a suitable statistical analysis procedure for given data (e.g., generalized linear regression, survival analysis, mixed models, structural equation models, nonparametric statistical methods, etc.), general questions about handling different data types (e.g., time series vs. cross-sectional vs. panel data), and the choice of a suitable estimation procedure (e.g., likelihood-based, Bayesian, etc.). Moreover, the consulting includes support for data analysis implementation in common statistical software packages (Excel, R, Stata, SPSS, etc.), interpretation of the results, and assistance in the scientific presentation of the outcomes.
