LISA is the University of Colorado Boulder’s new Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Statistical Analysis (LISA). LISA is a statistical collaboration laboratory with a goal to increase the quantity and quality of statistics and data science applied to advance high-impact research at CU Boulder and expert decision making in the community.
LISA’s mission is to:
- Train statisticians and data scientists to become interdisciplinary collaborators
- Provide research infrastructure to enable and accelerate quantitative research around campus
- Engage with the community to improve statistical skills and literacy.
LISA trains statisticians and data scientists to communicate and collaborate with researchers to solve research problems and work with businesses and government agencies to make data-driven decisions. LISA statistical collaborators can help design experiments, studies, and surveys; collect, analyze, and plot data; run statistical software; interpret results; and develop strategies to communicate statistical concepts and results to non-statisticians.
LISA serves as research infrastructure by collaborating with researchers on campus on big and small projects that lead to a variety of outcomes such as co-authored publications, grant proposals, internal reports, preliminary data for future projects, theses and dissertations, etc.
In the spring semester, LISA will begin teaching a series of short courses and workshops to improve specific statistics and data science skills and increase statistical literacy generally.
