Summary
I retired a couple of years ago as a kid in my mid-80s. But I hadn’t stopped working. We have a yearlong seminar at UC Riverside, a statistical consulting course. Graduate students can enroll for credit, and we have six or seven faculty members who attend throughout the entire academic year. On Tuesdays from noon to 1 p.m., we would bring data analytic or other methodological questions to that group.
