Consulting
I consult in statistical and methodological matters relating to mental health research. The areas in which I am most experienced and in which I enjoy working include:
- Design, conduct and analysis of trials of treatment and interventions
- Power analyses (particularly for RCTs)
- Design and analysis of longitudinal studies
- Psychiatric epidemiology - population and clinical
- Construction and evaluation of ‘psychometric’ tests and inventories using classical test theory, item response theory and structural equation modelling approaches
- Development and analysis of screening and diagnostic tests
- Advice and evaluation of grant proposals to be submitted to funders such NHMRC
- Responses to issues in submitted manuscripts raised by journal editors and reviewers
Workshops
I run workshops on many of the areas listed above, in particular, covering the analysis of longitudinal and trial data. These are typically ‘hands-on’ with participants being guided through real-life examples on their own machines. I specialise in workshops for participants who may not have strong statistical backgrounds and who may be ‘stats aversive.’ Workshops can be run on site and tailored to your needs.
My experience is demonstrated in around 300 published papers whose details can be found on Google Scholar or using my ORCID. Further details of my experience and references are available by contacting me.
I am based in Melbourne, Australia but have a long history of successfully working remotely with researchers around Australia and the world. I am also available to consult at your site by arrangement.
