<p>If CV sets up my model for me/verifies my model and my department's statistician agrees with the model after the fact, wouldn't it be fair to credit CV and the statistician in the manuscript?</p>

<p>Would including a simple "We would like to thank the people at Cross Validated (Stackexchange) and the statisticians at department X for their help" be discrediting to my paper? Or is this normal practice? I'm just not sure!</p>
