 Click Here For Expert Consultation on Statistical Analysis and Research Design

 

My statistical consulting services have been utilized in a wide variety of areas, including experimental

design, analysis of survey research, program evaluation, clinical trials, and market research.  I have

worked in many different organizational contexts, including academic research centers, government

agencies, businesses, and non-profit organizations.   The main services that I provide are the

following:

 

Research Design: I can assist you with the initial stages of research design, including the

development of research proposals, identifying statistical analyses that will address the questions

that you want to ask, writing and editing the analysis section of grant proposals,  and budgeting for

the costs of statistical analyses.  I can conduct a power analysis to ensure that you have an

adequate number of subjects for your study. I can review your questionnaires or other instruments

to ensure that the measurements you are using will lend themselves well to analysis.

 

Data Analysis: I will draw on my experience with a wide variety of statistical techniques to

provide a personalized approach to analysis that meets your unique needs.  I will provide you with

clear and easy to follow written reports on the results of the statistical analysis.  I will work with

you to clarify any questions concerning the analysis and results, or to identify new and promising

directions for further inquiry.  I also provide assistance in preparing manuscripts for publication and

presentation.

 

Measurement Development and Validation:  I can help you to evaluate a measure that you

are using, or to develop your own psychometrically sound instrument.   I can assist you with such

steps as the definition of a content domain, item development, item difficulty, standardization, validity

and reliability analyses, identifying and discarding statistically weak items, and constructing reliable

short forms of measures.

 

Database Management: I can develop a database for you to enter your data into your computer.

Once the data have been entered, we can help you to inspect the data for errors such as out-of-range

values.  I will ensure that the database design helps you to retrieve the information that you need

to answer your research questions.

 

Report Writing:  I can provide you with written reports of the findings of your research, and assist

you by reviewing drafts written by you or members of your firm.
