The role of statistics in medical research starts at the planning stage of a clinical trial or laboratory experiment to establish the design and size of an experiment that will ensure a good prospect of detecting effects of clinical or scientific interest. Statistics is again used during the analysis of data (sample data) to make inferences valid in a wider population. In simple situations computation of simple quantities such as P-values, confidence intervals, standard deviations, standard errors or application of some standard parametric or nonparametric tests may suffice. Despite their wide use even these simple notions are sometimes misunderstood or misinterpreted by research workers in other disciplines who have only a limited knowledge of statistics. More sophisticated research projects often need advanced statistical methods including the formulation and testing of mathematical models to make relevant inferences from observed data. As the field of statistics, the “theoretical science or formal study of the inferential process, especially the planning and analysis of experiments, surveys, and observational studies.” has developed in the twentieth century, clinical research has utilized statistical methods provide formal accounting for sources of variability in patients ‘responses to treatment. The use of statistics allows clinical researchers to draw reasonable and accurate inferences from collected information and to make sound decisions in the presence of uncertainty. Mastery of statistical concepts can prevent numerous errors and biases in medical research. Our biostatistics consulting division offers consultations and expertise on a range of relevant areas to researchers throughout the clinical trial process.

Presenting at an academic conference is an important part of a researcher’s life, and is an opportunity that most young researchers look forward to. However, while it is no doubt an exciting experience, it presents a scary prospect for most researchers. It is natural for even senior and experienced researchers to feel a tad nervous while addressing a large audience, but for young researchers who are presenting for the first time, the whole process can be overwhelming. The Presentation May be a, • Full paper – The length of a full paper is variable, usually between 20 and 40 min, and rarely exceeds one hour. A full paper may be followed by question time. • Short paper – This type of conference presentation can be as short as 10 min, and very often it is one in a series of short papers in a 1- or 2-hour session on a particular conference sub-topic or theme, each followed by 10 minutes question time. Timing is crucial as it is common for short paper sessions to be carefully managed by timekeepers who will ‘terminate’ your paper after the allocated time. • Workshop – The emphasis of most workshops is on their practical nature. Their purpose is for participants to experience a strategy, a technique or a practical demonstration, and to have opportunities to question you about the value or workability of what you are presenting. • Poster – You prepare a poster of your work (one or more A1 displays, including diagrams, text, references or visuals). This is displayed in an area of the conference venue. Your poster may be staffed at particular times when you are required to be available to provide further information or answer questions about your poster. • Discussion paper – It is assumed that participants have read the paper. A summary is presented at the beginning of the paper (usually, but not always by the paper presenter), and the session consists mainly of a discussion or defense of the issues, questions and ideas raised in the paper. • Panel presentation etc

Pvalue Solutions works closely with researchers who are in the process of writing or designing a study with the aim of publishing it in a peer-reviewed journal. This can often be a daunting task because published papers must meet the highest level of scientific rigor, represent original research in the field, and add to previously conducted studies. We work with researchers throughout the academic research process including topic development, literature review assistance, methodological specification, data analysis, and interpretation. We can assist you with qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods studies in nearly every field and analytic method. Our staff is comprised of specialist researchers with PhDs in their respective fields including psychology, economics, and physics, to name a few. Topic Selection and Literature Review The first phase of any academic work is determining what you are interested in studying and then researching the previously published studies. Our staff, consisting of PhD researchers across virtually every field, work closely with you to guide you through the initial phases of topic generation and research specification. Using our full-text access to scholarly journals from large databases such as EBSCOhost, ProQuest, Blackwell Synergy, JSTOR, and ScienceDirect, our analysts comprehensively and critically review your topic with respect to previously conducted research. Once we identify the works for inclusion in your literature review, we can provide you with an annotated bibliography of these studies explaining our justification for their inclusion and the methods and findings of those works. Next, our analysts deliver a comprehensive outline that allows you to verify that our process conforms to the needs of your topic. We then assist in the generation of the literature review based upon the annotated bibliography and outline created by our analysts.

Once you have a clean, comprehensive dissertation proposal, you are then on the road to completing your dissertation. Generally, the dissertation proposal consists of Chapters 1-3 the Introduction, the Literature Review, and the Methodology. More specifically, your dissertation proposal will need to show your committee that you have identified a purposeful and important dissertation study (part of the Introduction, Chapter 1), will fill a gap in the literature (part of the Literature Review, Chapter 2), and have a method to assess that gap (part of the Methodology, Chapter 3). Happily, P Value assist Ph.D. candidates in all three chapters! In the introduction we assist you in identifying and articulating your research problem, describing your study’s theoretical construct, and clearly explaining the nature of your study. You also have access to an editor who makes sure the statement of the problem is clear, and that your study’s rationale, significance, and research questions and hypotheses are stated concisely. Typically, our experts suggest concluding the Introduction with a clear outline of your study’s assumptions, limitations, and delimitations. Now, in the Literature review we guide your approach using our best practices for effectively searching, selecting, organizing, and summarizing articles. Naturally, these best practices lead into how to present a well-curated Literature Review that tells a story and explicitly supports your research questions. Importantly, together we will ensure that the gap in the literature is clearly stated and aligns with your problem statement. As icing on the cake, our assistance includes a critique of the previous literature, wherein we replace and update articles as necessary. Finally, in the Methodology section, we help you select and discuss the most suitable research design for your study, ultimately finalizing with you the necessary steps you will follow to carry out your qualitative or quantitative study.

The survey process has many distinct parts, several of which require statistical or psychometric analysis. Our team can assist with all of the quantitative parts of the survey research process, including specifying the initial survey, developing the sampling plan, conducting psychometric tests for reliability, validity, and power, and analyzing the data from the responses. Specifying the Initial Survey Pvalue solutions survey development process begins with a consultation to understand the constructs you are interested in measuring. We work with you to operationalize your variables and constructs for future analysis, and to make choices such as whether or not to use open-ended or free-response questions or using a Likert scale versus other options. We can also analyze data from a pilot study to test for preliminary reliability and validity of the instrument Developing the Sampling Plan Once the survey instrument is generated, we can discuss your sampling methodology, and help you to choose among the various options such as • Random or stratified sampling • Purposeful, convenience, or probabilistic sampling • Paper versus an online survey Data Analysis Once the responses to the survey have been received, we can conduct the statistical analysis based on the pre-determined methodology. We are familiar with all of the standard quantitative methods most commonly used in evaluating the responses from survey research. Online Survey Tools We are very familiar with the leading online survey tools, including SurveyMonkey and Zoomerang.If you are using either of these tools, we can help via inputting the survey into the tool for you or downloading and collating the data outputs. If you are unsure of which survey tool to use, we can suggest which would be best for your particular study and can do all of the back-office work for you.
