AmStat Consulting Section

Welcome to the Statistical Consulting Section

The Statistical Consulting Section of the ASA represents all ASA members involved in the practice of statistics. Our membership embraces statistical practitioners who apply methodology to solve challenging questions within and across a wide array of disciplines including agriculture, business, finance, pharmaceuticals, psychology, public policy, economics, medicine, public health, epidemiology, among others. The skillset required to achieve excellence in the practice of statistics is diverse and includes technical skills as well as communication skills. This latter skill set encompasses a broad area that often involves engagement in and understanding of team science. Specifically, practicing statisticians often rely on the ability to communicate technical ideas to a non-statistical audience and collaborate with others across multiple disciplines to jointly solve challenging questions.
