Since 2001 we've assisted businesses, hospitals, nonprofits, universities, attorneys, and Ph.D. students with quantitative research and program evaluations. We often provide these services at a distance.
One of our specialties is survey research -- creatively and resourcefully finding ways to minimize bias, enhance validity, and shed light on behaviors, attitudes, and opinions. Our approach to understanding customer, student, or patient decisions draws on the growing literature on behavioral economics (to which we've contributed).

DATA ANALYSIS METHODS"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler." - Albert Einstein
We draw from a wide variety of methods in order to build insight into a topic. Many past projects called for statistical models to explain -- or predict -- key outcomes. (There's a surprisingly large difference between the two approaches.) These projects have often used multiple linear regression; binary or multinomial logistic regression; factor analysis; or cluster analysis. Some studies farther from the beaten track have called for Monte Carlo simulations, combining known information with guessed-at parameters in order to produce the best estimates of a critical outcome. The method needs to fit not only the data and the research question, but your frame of reference, and that of the audience for your results. So we'll be asking you about that audience. For an expanded list of methods in our toolkit, see LOCATE A TECHNIQUE. |
