Choosing the wrong statistical test, missing an assumption check, or being unable to explain an output table in your viva are the three most common ways a statistics chapter goes wrong. We handle the analysis and make sure you understand it well enough to defend every number.
| Analysis | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Descriptive statistics | Summarizing sample characteristics before inferential tests |
| t-tests / ANOVA | Comparing group means |
| Correlation / regression | Testing relationships and prediction between variables |
| Chi-square | Testing association between categorical variables |
| Factor analysis | Validating or reducing a set of survey items |
| SEM / path analysis | Testing complex relationships among multiple constructs |
SPSS, R, and Stata will all produce an output table regardless of whether the test was the right choice or the assumptions were met. The statistical work that actually protects your dissertation happens before and after the software run: confirming the test fits your data and design, checking assumptions, and then translating raw output into a results narrative your committee — who may not all be statisticians — can follow and you can defend without hesitation.
Practice explaining your own results out loud before your defense. If you can't explain what a regression coefficient means in plain terms, that's the question most likely to come up in your viva. We build that explanation into the deliverable, not just the numbers.
The right test, properly checked assumptions, and a results narrative you understand fully.
Yes, we can run the analysis on our end using whichever tool fits your data and deliver the output alongside the written results, or use R if you prefer an open-source option.
Yes — if your analysis is done but you're unsure how to interpret or write up the output, we can take it from there and build a results narrative you can defend.
Most fields that use APA citation also expect statistical results reported in APA format (e.g. specific notation for t, F, p, and effect sizes). We follow whatever convention your discipline and institution require.
