I have over 30 years of research, evaluation, statistics, and project management experience. I have advanced evaluation and statistical analytic skills, and I am fluent in Stata and SPSS. I have also been developing my analytic skills in R, and I am now comfortable working in this language. Mplus is also used for latent variable modelling. Using Survey Monkey, Qualtrix, and REDCap, I designed and analysed online surveys.

I instruct doctoral and master’s level students in beginning and intermediate statistics. I also teach programme evaluation as well as mental health and substance abuse policy.

My writing and oral communication skills are excellent, and I am at ease developing and delivering trainings, workshops, and presentations. I can also assist with editing and writing technical or non-technical documents, but I am very picky about the work I accept.

I can assist you with the following tasks: 1) Converting data in Excel or ASCII format into a data set suitable for analysis in almost any commonly used statistical programme.

2) Calculate skew and kurtosis using basic screening and descriptive statistics such as frequencies, measures of central tendency and dispersion, and distributional statistics.

3) Perform bivariate analyses such as t-tests, correlations, and chi-square tests, as well as non-parametric procedures such as the Kruskal-Wallis test.

4) Check for missing values and, if necessary, conduct imputation-based analyses for missing data.

5) Review and advise on previous statistical analyses, including interpretation of the results.

If you are unsure whether I can assist you with your project, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will respond quickly and give you an honest answer. I never accept work that I don’t believe I can complete successfully and on time, or that will take me an inordinate amount of time.
