What PhD statistical analysis includes

🎓

From study design to final results

We support PhD students from the initial design of their study through to the final analytical results — covering methodology planning, sample size justification, data analysis, and a dedicated walkthrough of the findings so you can discuss and defend your work with confidence.

🔎

Confirmatory data analysis

We provide PhD statistical analysis across the full research pipeline, including confirmatory data analysis — testing pre-specified hypotheses against your collected data, as distinct from exploratory analysis. We work with quantitative and mixed-methods PhD projects across health and applied sciences.

📋

Detailed technical report

Every consultation includes a written report covering the methodology and results, with clear guidance on how to interpret them — for your thesis, a journal submission, or a grant application.

🏫

You learn throughout

We walk you through every step of the analysis in a dedicated session. You come away with a genuine understanding of what was done and why — ready to explain and defend your approach.

How it works · Data Analysis

Steps of the data analysis process

1

Initial meeting

We discuss your research aims and data in detail, and agree on the right analytical approach before any work begins.

2

Collaborative analysis

We work through the analyses with your involvement, producing a technical report covering the methodology, results, and how to interpret them.

3

Results walkthrough

A dedicated online session to go through the findings together — you leave with a clear understanding of the results, ready to write them up, defend them, or submit for publication.

4

Ongoing support

We stay available by email for any follow-up questions about the delivered material, with no time limit and no extra charge.

Before data collection

Research design support before you collect your data

📐

Sample design & size calculation

We determine the right sampling strategy and required sample size for your study — taking into account your research questions, design, and any ethics or institutional requirements.

📝

Statistical methodology planning

We help you define and document the statistical approach for your study in a clear, technically sound way — making it easier to discuss with your supervisor or ethics committee and to include in any ethics application, research proposal, or grant documentation.

🗄️

Data organisation guidance

We advise on how to structure and organise your data from the outset, making the analysis process smoother and reducing the risk of errors further down the track.

📋

Questionnaire design & validation

We help design well-structured questionnaires and carry out statistical validation of scales and measurement instruments — for theses, clinical studies, and published research.

Scope

What we do not do, and what we ask

✍️

We do not write your thesis

We are statistical consultants — not ghostwriters. The intellectual content, scientific reasoning, and writing of your thesis or paper are entirely your own. We provide expert guidance on statistical methodology and analysis.

🤝

Your supervisor must be aware

Your supervisor must be aware that you are using the service. For academic researchers, this kind of support is particularly valuable during the analysis phase of a thesis or dissertation, and is a recognised and accepted practice.

💬

Acknowledgement

Consistent with academic best practice, we ask that our contribution be acknowledged in the Acknowledgements section of your thesis or paper. We will guide you on appropriate wording.

Disciplines

We work across your discipline

We specialise in health and applied sciences — the fields where statistical consulting is standard collaborative research practice.

Medicine Nursing Physiotherapy Public Health Epidemiology Psychology Pharmacy Nutrition & Dietetics Dentistry Veterinary Science Occupational Therapy Speech & Language Therapy Midwifery Biomedical Science Health Services Research Social Work Education Biology And more
