Ms. Campbell worked twelve years in the Chemical Process Industry, during which time she participated in the design, construction, and start-up of projects in polystyrenics. However, it was her work in the implementation of statistical quality control programs that lead her to focus on data collection and analysis. Ms. Campbell teaches mathematics and statistics. Her students write that “she explains things clearly and does not make anyone feel stupid for asking questions.” She is a CRLA-certified tutor who takes great pride in helping students come to “own” the mathematical knowledge necessary to succeed in their chosen fields. She has assisted graduate students with their data analysis in fields as diverse as engineering, education, and public health. She can assist clients with their initial exploratory data analysis, usually with a graphical approach to viewing the data. She makes sure each client understands the basics, such as how to properly state the null and alternative hypotheses, and how to test for equivalence using procedures such as independent sample or paired sample t-tests. She routinely helps clients in the selection of the proper regression methods to employ, helping them to understand generalized linear models, logistic regression, and logit and loglinear models. Her ultimate goal is always that the client gains a full understanding of what the data has to say. In this manner, she has worked with clients whose data was highly qualitative, such as survey data, and she has assisted students with highly quantitative data involving modeling and forecasting. She is highly proficient with SPSS, JMP, and R statistical software and programming languages. [an error occurred while processing this directive]

STATISTICAL GENETICIST Dr. Sara H. specializes in the analysis of genetic, biological, experimental, and clinical data. She is accomplished in the areas of statistical genetics, quantitative genetics, bioinformatics and biostatistics. Dr. Sara H. was trained in mathematics and biology (BA), statistics (MA), and genetics (Ph.D.). She worked as a statistical geneticist for The Rockefeller University in the Laboratory of Statistical Genetics, with Allan Award winner Dr. Jurg Ott. She works with researchers and clinicians from Baylor College of Medicine, Rockefeller University, and Casey Eye Institute. For medical researchers and clinicians … For graduate students in biology, genetics, bioinformatics, and biostatistics … Summary … Areas of advanced expertise: programming in R, genetic analysis of related individuals (e.g., generalized estimating equations, family-based association tests), genetic analysis of unrelated individuals (e.g., t-tests, analysis of variance, chi-square tests, logistic regression, genotypic and haplotype tests, Genome-wide association studies (GWAS), next generation sequencing analysis, interaction analyses (GXG, GXE, EXE)), and fitting data to the underlying assumptions (e.g., linkage disequilibrium, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, tests of normality, transformation of data), as well as traditional statistical analyses including, but not limited to, ANOVA, longitudinal analysis, survival analysis, linear regression, meta-analysis, power analysis, permutation testing, and various methods of correction for multiple testing. All analyses are performed in R or using statistical genetics software such as Golden Helix. This allows her to deal with the large amounts of data being produced in the area of genetics, such as the million marker chips. SaraH Dr. Vicki Lawrence is an academic researcher who studies the epidemiologic nature of social conditions in relation to cardiovascular and other disease outcomes. More specifically, her work focuses on studies of poor health among African Americans and health disparities that may occur my age, race, and gender in cardiovascular and mental health outcomes. Utilizing her background in epidemiology and biostatistics, she has provided statistical support on multiple studies with various investigators commonly focused on physical and mental health data. In addition, she has worked with clinicians, research investigators, and tutored multiple graduate students as well in public health, epidemiology, social work, medicine, education, and nursing to tackle statistics related issues. Dr. Lawrence takes a significant amount of effort to ensure the students and researchers she collaborates with or supports understand the theoretical rationale behind the methods appropriate for their research problems, meeting the students and researchers at their stage of understanding. In addition to explaining the foundations, she regularly provides each individual has the opportunity to ask questions, and explains the differences in statistical approaches as needed. Further, she can help develop data analysis plans, refine research questions, and examine data collection methodologies with clients as well. In her own work, Dr. Lawrence has used exploratory/ descriptive analysis tools (such as t-tests) and nonparametric tests, ANOVA (including one way, two way, repeated measures and others), structural equation modeling, exploratory factor analyses, multilevel models, linear regression, logistic regression, multinomial regression, and growth curve modeling as well. She has prepared analytical methods sections for publications, including tables of regression outputs. Further, she can provide information relevant to epidemiologic methods, including prevalence, incidence, risk and rate ratios, causal diagrams (including mediating and moderating variables) and other topics as needed. She has used a variety of data sets of both large and small magnitude, including nationally representative public data sets such as NHANES and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, but has also used survey as well as medical systems based data. She has substantial experience using SAS and Excel, and also uses HLM and SPSS.
Compiling and Managing NHANES Datasets Data Collection Methodologies for Health Research Projects Vicki Ronald B. Marks, PhD was a marketing professor, now retired from the University of Wisconsin. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Missouri - Columbia, with a major in Marketing and minor in statistics. During his thirty year career, he taught undergraduate and graduate market research and multivariate statistics amongst other courses. He made extensive usage of SPSS, Minitab, and LISREL in both teaching and research. His research credentials in the use of multivariate statistics are evidenced in articles, such as: "A Structural Equation Model of Predictors for Effective Online Learning," Journal of Management Education, 29 (4), August, 2005 and "Psychometric Evaluation of the ADAPTS Scale," Journal of Personal Selling and Sales Management, Vol. XVI (4) (Fall, 1996, 53-56) He attended seminars in "Multivariate Statistics" at the University of Colorado and "General Structural Equation ("Lisrel") Models," (Introduction and Advanced) at the Inter University Consortium for Political and Social Research, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He also conducted similar faculty seminars in Multivariate Statistics at the University of Wisconsin. In counseling dissertation students and business clients, his experience is that "a problem well defined is half solved." Or as Tom Peters suggested in his best-selling book on management, "if you don't know where you are going, you are likely to end up somewhere else." That is, no matter how arcane the statistics employed, they will never compensate for poorly stated hypotheses and literature review. Hence, when consulting with students, he helps them first develop lucid, operational hypotheses and then determines which statistical methods to use, rather than the converse. Scope: multivariate statistics, behavioral sciences, marketing research, research design, SPSS, Minitab, structural equation modeling (LISREL), survey research, web-based surveys, quantitative methods, correlation, ANOVA, MANOVA, multiple regression, discriminant analysis, factor analysis, methodology chapter editing, nonparametric tests (such as chi-square or Mann-Whitney U Test), statistical application to social science data (e.g. psychology, sociology, economics) and business data (e.g. finance, business, and marketing), can aid with set-up of data files, analysis of sample characteristics, can also help develop persuasive Power Point presentations for oral defenses or business presentations.
