We had an unrealistically tight timeline, and Dr. Yel jumped in without hesitation — not only met the deadline, but delivered a little earlier than we anticipated. He took the time to understand the situation behind the data and the implications of every insight. We know who to go to for future work like this.

I recruited Nedim for his analytical skills and research abilities. He brought very strong quantitative research skills and the interpersonal ability to work effectively with a wide range of people from diverse backgrounds. He excelled at ferreting out and interpreting information from multiple sources. My highest recommendation.

Common questions

Can you help me respond to a reviewer who challenged my analysis?

Yes. Revise-and-resubmit support is part of the work, from running the analysis the reviewer is implicitly asking for to wording the response. Our guide to responding when a reviewer challenges your model explains the usual patterns, and the Analysis Clinic has worked cases with R code.

Can you write or check the statistics section of my grant?

Yes. Grant and IRB methods sections and a power-analysis memo are typical deliverables. The section should make the design, the sample-size justification and the planned analysis match each other.

Do I get the code?

Yes. Deliverables include reproducible R code that you keep.

Can I hire you for just one part of a project?

Yes. A single power analysis, one round of analysis, a methods section or a reviewer response are all normal engagements. You can also retain us as an ongoing methods partner.

How much does it cost, and how long does it take?

We don't publish a price list because cost depends on scope. The free 30-minute consult ends with a scoped proposal that includes methods, a timeline and a fixed quote, whether or not you hire us. If you have a deadline, such as a resubmission date, tell us on the first call so the timeline is built around it. We reply to inquiries within one business day.

Got a deadline? Let's talk before you resubmit.
