FAQ

Who is the typical statistical consulting client?

My statistical consulting service is aimed at PhD students / empirical researchers who need help with data analysis or data visualization. Statistical consulting is not bound to specific disciplines. Typical disciplines are the social, behavioral and medical sciences (e.g. medicine, psychology, education, economics). Statistical consulting is also not bound to a particular place. Long-distance statistical consulting using video conference, phone or e-mail works very well. I support clients who speak German or English.

How do you work?

My mission it to make you an expert in the research methods and statistics of your dissertation / academic paper. It is important to me that you understand every word of what we are discussing. So my job isn’t done until you feel confident to submit your paper or present your results. I’ll be happy to analyze your data or create plots using R.  In addition to the results or graphs you get a documentation of what exactly I did and why. Of course, we also discuss the results via video conference or phone.

Of course, I am committed to scientific standards and strict confidentiality.
