Lab Resources    

The physical facilities of The Statistical Consulting Laboratory (SCL),  located in the West Wing of Bell Hall, provide space to carry out the statistical consulting and seminar activities of the Laboratory.  The SCL facilities include offices for the administrative secretary, network manager, and the staff statistician.  A conference room with a small library area is stocked with reference books and issues from numerous statistics journals, computer lab, and storage room complete the facilities. 

Computer Resources:
The Statistical Consulting Laboratory has sufficient computing resources to complete most statistical projects.  The computing infrastructure includes Unix and PC workstations, with a SAMBA server connecting the Windows and the Unix network.  The Unix machines in the lab include a Sun Blade 2000 workstation, Sun Blade 150 workstation, an Ultra 10 (NIS & File) Server and four Ultra 5 workstations (one of which is the Web Server) all running Solaris 8, 9, 10.  The PC network has five Dell Optiplex desktops running Windows XP. Two Dell latitude laptops running Windows XP are also available for use.  
    Most of the equipment is located in our main computer room which has four of the Sun Workstations, two Dell Optiplex workstations and one LaserJet 4300dtn printer. The SunBlade 2000 UNIX workstation and Dell 5100 CN printer are designated for use by our staff statistician for statistical consulting work. This Sun workstation also has a SunPCi card installed, that allows Windows XP to run at native speeds alongside Solaris. The three desktop PCs are in the Staff and Faculty offices.   The server is housed in a separate room.
The softwares available for use in the Statistical Consulting Laboratory include SAS9.13 (Windows/Unix), Splus7.0 (Windows/Unix), Mathematica5 (Windows), Minitab 14.0 and MatLab7 (Windows/Unix). The lab utilizes the university's network with CAT5e cables for wired connection and 802.11b wireless network.
