Statistics Clinic

Details of statistics short courses which are to be hosted by the group this year can be found at http//scg.maths.uwa.edu.au/?id=347. Please note these courses are heavily
subsidised for UWA Graduate Research Students but are open to all.

We would also like to remind all graduate research students of UWA that we have a free advisory service in the form of our statistics clinic. Details of this can be found at these pages
http://scg.maths.uwa.edu.au/postgraduate-clinic/ .  Please note the format and times of the clinic have changed slightly, in particular we have introduced an appointment based service in addition to the usual drop in service we have provided in the past.
