Hey All,

Is there anyone here with a particularly strong stats background that would be willing to chat with me for an hour or so this week regarding an analysis I'm doing for my CSTE Annual Conference presentation?

I have a survey with about 2,000 responses that is not well representative of my state, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to present the data along the various demographic variables.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben, I wouldn't say my stats background is particularly strong, but I'm also presenting state survey results at CSTE and may have run into similar issues. If you don't get any more stats focused offers here, feel free to reach out.

Hi Ben,

I'm technically supposed to have biostats competency after passing my qualifying exam but that's debatable. I'm still happy to connect and chat. My mentor, Ying Zhang, has a PhD in statistics and may be able to give some guidance and insight. Happy to get you two connected, if you'd like.

Best wishes,
Moon

Thank you Moon for recommending me :)
A correction, I have a PHD MINOR in statistics. But Ben, I'd be happy to help.

Thanks for the offer, but Moon and I had a great conversation that really got me where I needed to be. If I submit it as a paper and the reviewers come back with complaints about the stats, then I may come back with more questions.
