Typical research questions we solve

We translate substantive research questions into statistical models and tests that provide credible answers.

Does policy X significantly affect outcome Y after controlling for confounders?
Which predictors most strongly explain variation in performance measures?
Is the relationship between factor A and B linear, or does it change at certain levels?
Are observed differences between groups statistically and practically significant?
Can we estimate causal effects using natural experiments or instrumental variables?

Methods we use — concise overview

We select methods to match the design, data structure, and inference goals of your project.

Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) for continuous outcomes with linear relationships.
Logistic, probit, and multinomial regressions for binary and categorical outcomes.
Poisson and negative binomial models for count data.

Example: From question to conclusion — a worked example

Project: Evaluating the effect of a teacher training program on student test scores.

Step 1 — Define the hypothesis: "Participation in the training program increases student test scores by at least 2 percentage points."

Step 2 — Data structure: Student scores (continuous), student-level covariates (age, baseline scores), school-level covariates, and binary indicator for program participation.

Step 3 — Initial steps:

Clean and merge datasets, compute baseline balance.
Conduct exploratory plots of scores by treatment status and school.

Step 4 — Model specification:

Primary model: Multilevel linear regression (students nested in schools) to account for intraclass correlation.
Equation (conceptual): Score_ij = β0 + β1Treatment_ij + β2BaselineScore_ij + β3*X_ij + u_j + ε_ij

Step 5 — Diagnostics and assumptions:

Check residual normality and heteroskedasticity.
Inspect intraclass correlation (ICC) to justify multilevel approach.
Test for baseline balance; if imbalance exists, adjust with covariates or propensity scores.

Step 6 — Hypothesis testing and interpretation:

Null hypothesis: β1 = 0. Alternative: β1 > 0.
Compute clustered standard errors, present p-values and 95% confidence intervals.
Translate effect sizes into practical terms (e.g., months of schooling equivalent).

Step 7 — Robustness checks:

Run DiD if staggered rollout exists.
Propensity score matching as corroboration.
Placebo tests in pre-intervention periods.

Step 8 — Deliverables:

Executive summary: "We estimate an average treatment effect of +1.9 points (95% CI: 0.8–3.0), p = 0.002. Results robust to clustered SEs and matching."
Code, tables, and figures.

In-depth methodology — what we check and why it matters

We prioritize diagnostic rigor to ensure inference is valid and defensible.

Model fit and specification
- Residual plots and formal tests for nonlinearity.
- Use of splines or polynomial terms for nonlinear relationships.
Multicollinearity
- Variance inflation factors (VIFs) and condition indices; remediate by centering, combining variables, or using penalized regression.
Heteroskedasticity
- Breusch-Pagan or White tests; employ robust or cluster-robust standard errors when needed.
Autocorrelation (time series)
- Durbin-Watson and Ljung-Box tests; incorporate AR terms or use GLS.
Model selection and overfitting
- AIC/BIC comparisons, cross-validation, and out-of-sample validation.
Missing data
- Explore missingness patterns, apply multiple imputation or appropriate weighting.
Causal identification
- Assess threats from confounding, measurement error, and selection bias.
- Design-based strategies: randomization, natural experiments, instrumental variables, DiD, RDD.

Hypothesis testing — comprehensive approach

Our hypothesis testing adheres to best practices for interpretation and reproducibility.

Formulate clear null and alternative hypotheses and pre-specify tests when possible.
Choose appropriate test statistics and report effect sizes alongside p-values.
Control for multiple testing using Bonferroni, Holm, or false discovery rate where applicable.
Report power and precision: we provide post-hoc power or, ideally, pre-analysis power calculations for new studies.
Emphasize estimation over dichotomous decisions: confidence intervals, standardized effect sizes, and practical significance are always reported.

Common project timelines

Below are typical timelines for common project scopes. Exact timing varies by dataset size and complexity.

Small analysis (one primary model): 3–7 business days.
Medium analysis (multiple models, diagnostics): 7–14 business days.
Large/complex analysis (panel data, causal identification): 2–6 weeks.
Ongoing collaboration (data collection and iterative analysis): agreed per scope.

Example outputs and interpretation guidance

We provide clear interpretation so results inform decisions rather than confuse stakeholders.

Coefficient tables with estimates, standard errors, p-values, and confidence intervals.
Marginal effects for nonlinear models (e.g., logistic regression).
Predicted probabilities and counterfactual simulations.
Plots: residuals, fitted vs observed, interaction plots, predicted marginal effects with confidence bands.
Plain-language summaries: what the numbers mean for policy, practice, or theory.

Example interpretation (logistic model):

"An odds ratio of 1.5 for variable X indicates treated units are 50% more likely to experience the outcome, controlling for covariates. The marginal effect at the mean suggests a 7 percentage point increase in predicted probability."

Risk management and limitations

We identify and communicate limitations so conclusions are appropriately qualified.

Limitations arising from observational data and potential confounding.
Measurement error or missingness implications.
The sensitivity of results to model choice and assumptions.
Ethical and privacy constraints on data use.

We recommend sensitivity and robustness checks and will document the implications of each limitation for inference.
