Center for Statistical Consulting
Campus affiliates should visit the UCI Center for Statistical Consulting for basic statistical consulting needs.

Open Source Software
- Software I write in graduate school are freely available under the GPL version 3.0 license, hosted primarily on github and sometimes on R-Forge (R packages that interface with
C/C++).
- RobustSurvival and NewtonRaphson are R packages that grew out of my dissertation. They are work in progress and will be released on CRAN in the near future.
- inference and day2day contain functions that I use on a day to day basis.

Comments and Thoughts
- The following two plots summarize and justify my use of statistical inference in scientific research. They convey a lot of ideas, but can you name the two main concepts?
