This book is for the new, or relatively new, statistical consultant. Its purpose is to pass along tips that, hopefully, will help in better understanding a customer’s problem. It is not a book about methods of analysis or how to run a consulting business, but rather about things to do, or watch for, so that you can understand the data, and answer the questions that are asked, or better yet, the questions that should have been asked.
The book offers personal advice for consultants, describes things to listen and look for when discussing the client’s problem, suggests good ‘housekeeping’ practices, lists guidelines if you are own your own, suggests what to do if things go wrong, and discusses three key questions to ask of the researcher.
