Please be on time, and [[mailto:biostat-clinic@list.vanderbilt.edu][email the clinic address]] as soon as possible if you will be late or need to cancel. Others may be on a wait list for your spot. * Clinics held at Medical Center North (see locations above) will not be held if no investigators are signed up. Clinics held at 2525 West End will be held as open question time even if no investigators have signed up. * We are not able to answer questions specific to software (eg, "how do I run a linear regression in SPSS?"). Our department primarily uses R, and if arranged ahead of time can possibly provide some help with Stata. While we are always happy to answer general statistical questions, we cannot provide support for SAS- or SPSS-specific questions. * For more information, see [[https://biostat.app.vumc.org/wiki/Main/PrepTipsforBiostatClinic][tips for making the most of Biostatistics Clinic]]. * [[mailto:biostat-clinic@list.vanderbilt.edu][Email the clinic staff]] if you have any questions. ---++++ Preparing and uploading data for clinic *Advice* * [[Main.PrepTipsforBiostatClinic][For researchers: Tips for attending Biostatistics Clinic]] * [[Main.DataTransmissionProcedures][Procedures for Preparing Datasets for Analysis and for Transmission to the Department of Biostatistics]] * [[Main.DataDeidentificationChecklist][Data De-identification Checklist]] * [[https://github.com/jtleek/datasharing][How to share data with a statistician]] If you have a relatively simple dataset to be analyzed and the analysis can be concluded during the clinic, you can send your data at least two days in advance to [[mailto:biostat-clinic@list.vanderbilt.edu][biostat-clinic@list.vanderbilt.edu]] and state which clinic date you would like to attend. Preferred formats are R save files, SPSS save files, Stata data files, and comma separated files ( =csv= files) exported from a spreadsheet or other software, with variable names in the first record. *All subject identifiers must be removed from files before sending them to us* (please see the [[Main.DataDeidentificationChecklist][Data De-identification Checklist]]).
