Statistical Consulting, Analysis of Variance, Regression, Experimental Design, Analysis of Categorical Data, Applied Time Series (Box & Jenkins), Multivariate Analysis, Ecological Statistics, Statistics, and Computer Interface.

Made extensive use of software packages MINITAB, SPSS, BMD, S, SAS and others for consulting. Wrote the RUMMAGE system to analyze balance and unbalanced, univariate and multivariate data sets, using the techniques of analysis of variance, regression, covariance, and multifactor contingency tables. Have used IBM OS and DOS systems, PDP-10, VAX (VMS & UNIX) and XEROX time share systems. Knowledge of Fortran, Assembly, APL, JCL, and C and S, VAX-VMS, and UNIX.
