Review the evidence available
Check coding, missingness, measurement and the relationship between observations before inferential analysis.
RESEARCH & DATA
Statistical analysis for your research
Get an analysis that follows your research question, checks the assumptions and explains the findings. You do not need to choose a statistical test before enquiring.
Request a research quoteWhen this helps
You have quantitative data ready for analysis, need to review an existing approach or want to respond to feedback on your methods and results.
THE DETAIL THAT MATTERS
Method follows the question.
We start with the design, variables, sampling and unit of analysis. A familiar test is only appropriate when it answers the question and its assumptions are reasonable. The plan may change if the data cannot support the intended analysis.

What the work involves
Agree the approach
Map each question to summaries, comparisons, associations or regression, with relevant checks and limitations.
Run and check the analysis
Review assumptions, diagnostics and sensitivity where agreed. Document departures from the original plan.
Interpret in context
Discuss estimates, uncertainty, effect sizes and practical relevance alongside statistical significance.
STATISTICAL CAPABILITY
An overview of the methods we can scope.
You do not need to select a test. The question, design, variables and assumptions determine the approach.
Descriptive & exploratory
Frequencies, distributions, cross-tabulation and descriptive summaries.
Measurement & reliability
Item-level review, scale reliability where appropriate and measurement considerations.
Group comparison
t-tests, ANOVA and appropriate non-parametric alternatives.
Association
Correlation, chi-square and relevant association measures.
Modelling
Regression where appropriate to the design, variables and available data.
Specialised requirements are assessed during scoping. If a method falls outside our expertise, we will say so before accepting the engagement.
What you receive
Deliverables are agreed in your quote.
- Descriptive summaries and agreed statistical outputs.
- Assumption checks and notes on analytical decisions.
- SPSS syntax or R scripts where included in the scope.
- Results tables, interpretation notes and a discussion of limitations.
What to prepare for an enquiry
Share your research question, stage, data type and deadline. No test selection is needed.
Please leave out sensitive records. File sharing is agreed after the initial review.
QUESTIONS
Questions about this service
Do I need to know which test I need?
No. Describe your question, design and data. We review these with you before recommending methods.
Can you guarantee significant results?
No. The findings depend on the evidence. We report the results, including uncertainty and findings that do not support the original hypothesis.
What if assumptions are not met?
We assess the consequence for the planned analysis and discuss an appropriate alternative or limitation. We document the decision rather than silently changing the method.
Can you help me understand the output?
Yes. A results discussion connects the tables and model outputs to the research questions. The quote confirms the format and extent of this support.
