DELTA STATISTICAL CONSULTING
ABOUT
With over 15 years of research experience, I collaborate with healthcare professionals, graduate students, academic researchers, and industry on the design and statistical analysis for research studies, quality improvement projects, and program evaluations.
​​
Engaging a statistician can facilitate the research process and ensure that your data are meaningful. You, as the researcher, can focus on the theoretical content expertise. The end goal is to improve the quality of the research or project, as well as to improve the confidence of the researcher in executing and presenting his/her research. Additionally, a well-versed statistician can complete the statistical analysis in a time-efficient manner. ​​
