Title: Let me give you some (statistical) advice
Abstract:
Practising statisticians are likely to spend at least some of their time engaging in statistical advising. This activity could take one of many forms, from one-off consultations with students undertaking their first research project to long-term collaborations in which the statistician is a full member of a wider research team. Although we spend some of our time engaging in this activity, in my experience it is rarely discussed. I recently spent two days discussing it at ADVICE|2018, the first international conference on statistical advising. Themes included the relationship between research, teaching and advising; whether there is a best practice for statistical advising; how to organise a statistical advising service; how to measure the impact of advice; and how to train the next generation of advisors. I will share perspectives from the conference and hopefully stimulate discussion of their relevance for statistical advising in Manchester.
