Projects for academic clients include, but are not limited to, the following:

Advanced Regression Analysis

As an academic, you need to anticipate changes in research practices that affect your projects, but you may not have time to follow research trends. Our consultants at Elite Research actively follow research trends, so let us help you with your statistical analyses, including advanced regression analyses. We can ensure that you are using the most current research trends and that you understand the statistical techniques that we utilize to help you obtain your results, such as curve fitting, linear and non-linear regression, regression lines, and variables in the regression models. Contact Elite Research for your statistical needs!

Multivariate Analysis

At Elite Research, we can assist you with the different types of multivariate analysis, the various possible outcomes of your data (if your data deals with multiple variables), and especially the different types of measurements and conclusions that may arise from your data. We strive not only to present you with accurate results but also to ensure that you understand the analytic techniques that we utilize to obtain your results.If you are having trouble with your multivariate analysis, call the consultants at Elite Research.

Cluster and Factor Analysis

At Elite Research, our experienced consultants can help you with cluster and factor analyses in many ways, including the following: discovering links, arrangements, connections, and organizations among data; transforming statistical data into linear combinations of independent variables; and exploring groups and clusters that your data may reveal. We always explain your research findings in plain, everyday language that non-statisticians can understand, so contact the consultants at Elite Research for your statistical needs.

Grant Proposals

Whether you are having trouble with writer’s block or are just struggling to get started on your proposal, our experienced consultants and editors at Elite Research can help you in a number of ways. Our PhD-level consultants are experienced in developing grant proposals to secure research funds.

Rene Paulson and her team at Elite Research provided me with the statistical support I needed to do my research project and complete my dissertation. She was prompt, accurate, and reliable. The insights she provided while analyzing my data were most helpful and intuitive. Her attitude and approach to working with clients is refreshingly upbeat and supportive. Working with her is a pleasure. I highly recommend Rene to anyone who needs help organizing and analyzing data for any project, be it research for publication, a masters degree, PhD, or grant proposal. They are the best!
