Data Analysis & Statistical Support for Your Research
Make informed decisions about your data and understand what your results mean. Get practical support with data preparation, statistical analysis and interpretation for dissertations, theses and research projects.
Your research remains yours. We focus on transparent, appropriately scoped support.
What we can help with
Analysis that starts with your research questions
The right analysis depends on your objectives, variables, sampling approach and data quality. We begin by understanding those details instead of applying a statistical test by default.
Descriptive statistics
Summarise your sample and variables using suitable frequencies, measures and visualisations.
Hypothesis testing
Understand test selection, assumptions and results in relation to your stated hypotheses.
Relationships and prediction
Explore appropriate correlation and regression approaches when supported by the study design and data.
Reliability and measurement
Review suitable reliability measures, scale construction and interpretation where applicable.
Results interpretation
Make sense of statistical output and explain the meaning and limitations of your findings.
Software we can work with
Tell us what you already use or what your department requires. The software and method are selected to fit the task—not the other way around.
SPSS
R / RStudio
Python
Stata

Frequently asked questions
A few details to help you decide whether this support fits your project.
Which statistical software can you support?+
Depending on your project requirements, support may include SPSS, R and RStudio, Python, Stata and Microsoft Excel. Tell us which software you are using, or share your requirements if you are unsure which tool is suitable.
What types of statistical analysis can I request?+
Depending on your research questions, data and study design, support may include descriptive statistics, data cleaning, cross-tabulations, correlation, regression, hypothesis testing, reliability analysis and suitable visualisations. The appropriate method is confirmed after reviewing your brief.
Can you help interpret my SPSS or other statistical output?+
Yes. You can request help understanding output tables, statistical significance, effect sizes, assumptions and what the findings do—and do not—show in relation to your research questions.
What should I send when requesting a quote?+
Share your research topic or questions, study design, dataset or a description of its structure, software preference, institution's requirements and deadline. Remove names, student numbers and other personal identifiers before sharing data.
How much does research data analysis support cost?+
The cost depends on dataset size and condition, the methods required, the number of research questions and the deadline. We review the scope and confirm the deliverables and quote before work begins.
Can you guarantee a significant result or a particular grade?+
No. Statistical results depend on the data, study design and assumptions. We do not alter, fabricate or selectively report findings to obtain a preferred result, and we cannot guarantee grades or research outcomes.
Will the analysis comply with my university's academic-integrity rules?+
Our support is intended to help you understand your methods and findings. You remain responsible for your research and submitted work. Tell us your institution's rules so the scope can be agreed in a way that supports compliance.
