Can you help me with my serious research paper/proposal/project?

Over the past eight years, I have helped dozens of academics with the research output for their academic papers and many, many PhD students with the statistics for their theses. In some cases, I have served as a consultant, to help the researcher identify a sensible course of analysis. In some cases, I have generated all the statistical output myself. I am happy to provide whatever amount of help is right for you.

I will, of course, be steered by your preferences. But, if you would like me to impose my own preferences on your analysis, I will always opt for the cleanest, simplest, most direct analysis that can answer the research question. I love to learn new and exotic statistical methods, and have had the good fortune to explore all kinds of fascinating models during my time supporting academics. But, still, the simplest option will always be the first choice.

However, sometimes I am approached with a dataset that is simply so non-standard that only some "creative statistics" can answer the question. For a nice example of this in action, take a look at our paper here. The researcher wanted us to identify whether the location of a lesion on the retina could predict whether the patient would go on to develop diabetic retinopathy. We were all really pleased with our final product.

This website is currently being built (Feb 2021); I'll be putting more examples of projects I have worked on (and am working on) shortly.
