EILEEN ZURBRIGGEN
EILEEN ZURBRIGGEN has provided statistical consulting for numerous master's and Ph.D. theses, has taught doctoral level statistics courses for the past 7 years and has presented statistical workshops at national conferences.
She received a Ph.D. in Personality Psychology from the University of Michigan, and subsequently completed an advanced post-doctoral fellowship in probability, statistics, methodology, and quantitative techniques at New York University.
Her areas of advanced expertise include analysis of variance (including ANOVA, MANOVA, ANCOVA), multiple regression, logistic regression, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM, using software packages such as LISREL, AMOS, and EQS).
Her goals when consulting are threefold: to communicate the basics of the techniques as clearly as possible, to encourage the use of statistics as one part of a larger argument, and to promote student/client empowerment through mastery of (rather than robotic application of) statistical techniques.
"Thanks so much for your help. I learned a lot during the process. You are a great consultant!" -- YH Hsieh
"Dr. Zurbriggen provided excellent service. Although I am familiar with statistics, Dr. Zurbriggen helped me navigate through the maze of possibilities and zero in on the statistics needed for my dissertation. She is very skilled in figuring out how much you know and need to know to complete a task. I never felt spoken "down to" nor did she ever talk above me. I would highly recommend Dr. Zurbriggen."
