As a student your area of expertise is not statistics. Yet the preparation of a successful dissertation involves conducting effective research, analyzing data and presenting the results… all of which require a high level of mathematical and statistical expertise.

Hiring a statistical consultant lets you focus on becoming an expert in your field of study rather than try to master statistics.I can help you develop a successful dissertation from proposal to defense and can offer assistance with any or all of these steps:

• Research Methodology – get your dissertation research started on the right track and you’ll save yourself loads of time and energy later on in the process. I can show you how to avoid common mistakes and assumptions.
• Research Design – the reliability of you results is crucial to your success. I can show you the best ways to design research to test your hypothesis
• the basis of the predetermined theory being tested. They must also be operationalized.  I’ll be there to give you experienced guidance and the necessary statistical expertise.
• Sample Size Calculation and justification – It is often difficult to select the right sample size.  Too small a sample – and you may not be able to give good evidence for your hypothesis.  Too large a sample, and you waste time, effort and money collecting data.  I can work with you to do an appropriate power analysis so that you select an appropriate sample size and can justify it to your committee.
• Statistical techniques – there are many statistical methods that serve a wide variety of purposes I’ll work with you to select the one that answers your questions, so that your substantive questions drive the statistical analysis, rather than the other w around.  These methods include:
  • Linear regression
  • Dichotomous logistic regression
  • Ordinal logistic regression
  • Multinomial logistic regression
  • Quantile regression
  • Poisson regression and other methods for count data
  • Various types of survival analysis
  • Multilevel models of various kinds
  • LogLinear models
  • Factor analysis
  • Principal component analysis
  • Multidimensional scaling
  • Cluster analysis
  • Additve models
  • Multiple imputation
  • An extensive array of graphical procedures
• Validity and Reliability of Results – valid research requires much more that simply collecting data and conducting statistical analysis. I can help you determine the reliability and validity of your instruments.
• Interpretation of Results – Accurate interpretation of results and presentation of results in an appropriate format can make or break your dissertation. I can help you pull your research together into a compelling presentation that is reliable and valid.
