Software and methods we cover
We use whichever software your field, journal, or institution expects, and deliver the code so the analysis is reproducible:
| Software | Common consulting use |
|---|
| R | Mixed-effects models, structural equation modelling, advanced regression, reproducible reports |
| Stata | Panel data, survey-weighted estimation, survival analysis, econometrics |
| SPSS | Analysis of variance, regression, reliability, PROCESS macro mediation |
| SAS | Large datasets and regulated analyses |
Method coverage spans regression (linear, logistic, Poisson), analysis of variance and its repeated-measures and multivariate variants, survival analysis, mixed-effects and multilevel models, factor analysis and structural equation modelling, and propensity score methods for observational data.
- Discovery brief. You describe, in writing, your research question, your data, and where you need statistical guidance.
- Analysis strategy. We recommend the right design, tests, and sample size, with a written rationale you can show a supervisor or reviewer.
- Analysis. Models are run in your required software with annotated, reproducible code, and every assumption check is documented.
- Tables, figures, and prose. You receive formatted outputs and a results-section draft in your target style.
- Written interpretation. A written handoff explains every result, and reviewer-requested re-analyses are handled within the original scope.
- Researchers and faculty who need a defensible analysis but no in-house statistician
- Research teams that want a second statistician to review the analysis before submission
- Grant applicants who need an analysis plan and sample-size justification
- Authors responding to reviewers who asked for an analysis outside the team's training
- Industry and policy researchers who need quantitative conclusions that hold up to scrutiny
- A written analysis plan with the test-selection rationale
- Annotated R, Stata, SPSS, or SAS code so the analysis is fully reproducible
- A cleaned dataset with a variable codebook
- Publication or report-ready tables and figures
- A results-section draft in your target style
- A written interpretation of every result
Share your research question, your data, and the decision you are stuck on, and a PhD methodologist replies with a fixed-fee plan, the recommended approach, and a timeline.

If the work turns out to be a full evidence synthesis rather than a single analysis, our systematic review service and meta-analysis support carry the statistics through end to end.
"I needed a second opinion on whether my model choice was defensible before submission. The consultant reviewed the analysis, flagged an assumption I had missed, re-ran it, and wrote the methods paragraph. The paper went through without statistical queries."

"A reviewer asked for a multilevel model my team had never run. Research Gold delivered the fit, the diagnostics, and a written interpretation we could actually defend in the response letter."
