Biostatistics Consulting Service

Services

The Biostatistics Consulting Service can handle projects requiring expertise in any area of statistics. We can help with your study from the planning stages to the final write-up.

Planning

• Design: we can help you to choose an experimental design that will allow you to answer the research question most efficiently. Clinical trials, surveys all need special considerations.
• Sample size determination: having too much or too little data is a waste of resources. We can help you plan how much data you need to collect so that your study can evaluate your hypothesis.
• Grant proposal preparation: we can write the sections on the statistical analysis plan and sample size considerations.

Data collection

• Randomization: we can develop and implement an appropriate randomization scheme.
• Data management: we can advise you on database design, and even help you set it up.
• Data entry

Analysis

Statistical modeling, data analysis and interpretation: we will help you choose the appropriate analysis methods, and carry them out if you wish. We can also help you interpret the results in the context of your research.

Reporting

• Reports: we can write ready-to-publish description of the statistical methods used, prepare summary tables.
• Plots: we can design and produce publication quality plots that communicate your message effectively.
