About the Center for Applied Statistics and Research
The Center for Applied Statistics and Research (CFASR) is a place where university faculty, staff, students (graduate and undergraduate), and community members work in a collaborative environment to teach, conduct research and provide statistical/research consulting services to various constituents within and beyond the university community. The Center offers methodological skills that positively impact the decisions reached for individuals’ data analysis by integrating the human capital of its faculty. In addition, the Center serves as a clearinghouse for all things statistics and applied research. CFASR is affiliated with the psychology department.
