The most difficult of all tasks asked of the master’s and doctoral candidate is mastery of statistical analysis. Most have not had a statistics analysis class in years, and when they did have the classes, they were few in number and did not cover the statistical analysis now needed for their thesis or dissertation. No one expects you to be an expert in statistical analysis, especially since this will probably be the last time you will be using it. Most graduates are going to change the world in psychology, education, nursing and medicine, or business … not statistical analysis. Because of this, most universities recommend retaining a statistics consultant for assistance with your statistical analysis.
Statistics Solutions’ statistics consultants will help you by
- Choosing the appropriate statistical analysis for your research questions and hypotheses.
- Identifying and testing the assumptions of the statistical analysis.
- Conducting the statistical analysis while assessing the assumptions of the analyses.
- Providing an APA-formatted results section containing the written results of the tests and the appropriate tables.
- Providing unlimited phone and email support until you completely understand the statistical analysis.
A statistics consultant is as much a professional tutor as a statistician, and will make sure you completely understand the results of your statistical analysis. Without understanding the results of the statistical analysis, it would be impossible for you to integrate the results into the rest of the dissertation. This is a critical step in the statistics consulting process.
