Welcome to the website of the monster blog section on Statistical Consulting!

Statistical consulting is the most challenging and most rewarding part of statistics. A consultant uses the art and science of statistics to solve a practical problem. Problems come from many different fields, e.g. marketing, product design, manufacturing, medicine, agriculture, or genetics, but many of us specialize in just a few application areas.

Research and Experimental Design
Well-planned experiments provide clearer results and use resources more efficiently. We can help determine whether you need a factorial design, fractional factorial design, incomplete block design (BIBD design), Split-plot designs, Latin square design, Youden square design, composite design (star design), second order design, or Box-Behnken design. We can also help you set up a quasi-experiment, cross-sectional study, or a case-control study. We can create and explain your design or teach you how to do it.
Univariate Statistical Analysis
Linear Regression, Multiple Regression, Logistic Regression, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Repeated Measures ANOVA, Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA aka ANOCOVA), Variance Components (VARCOMP, Components of Variation, Gauge R&R), Mixed Models, or analysis of any of the experimental designs listed above. We can analyze your data, teach you how to analyze it, or help you over a "hump" in learning to analyze your data.
Multivariate Statistical Analysis
Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA), Factor Analysis, Repeated Measures ANOVA, Discriminant Function Analysis, Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA), Causal Modeling, Path Analysis, Econometric Models, Cluster Analysis.
Business Consultants
Productivity Improvement, Data Analysis, Data Management, Decision Support, E-commerce Consulting, Quality Control Studies, Marketing Research Studies, Program Evaluation, Market Segmentation Studies, Customer Satisfaction Studies, Focus Group Projects, Help with Statistics for Return on Investment Calculations.
Test Development and Validation
Defining a Content Domain, Item Development, Item Difficulty and Attractiveness, Standardization, Validity and Reliability Analysis, Interpreting Pattern and Structure Matrices, Identifying and Discarding Statistically Weak Items, Validity Scales, Survival Curve Analysis, Constructing Reliable Short Forms.
We can help you evaluate a test you are using, develop your own psychometrically sound instrument, or avoid common statistical pitfalls such as confusing component and factor analysis.
