Biostatistics Consulting (A registered Business in NSW, Australia)

-An affordable clinical and scientific data analysis consulting solution.

About Biostatistics Consulting

Biostatistics Consulting is a sole trader consulting service for scientists and clinicians. This is my company and I wish to extend my services to the scientific community. I aim to carry out data analysis and reporting at a affordable price to gain experience in biostatistics and support myself during my further studies. Discounts are offered for publishable work where authorship is provided.

Please make contact via email regarding your data analysis needs or consultation needs or tutoring requirements in biostatistics. I have done various projects in Biostatistics and also offered tutoring in Biostatistics to health pofessionals and students.

Personal Information

I have completed considerable training in medicine and biostatistics. At the tertiary level I initially did 3 yrs of MBBS followed by 1yr Honours in the application of Biostatistics on Cardiovascular Clinical Trials. I received first class honours (H1).

Doing this time I completed 1^st yr maths, 1^st yr stats, public health, epidemiology and biostatistics coursework at a distinction average. Details in my resume below.

I accumulated 2.5 years of work experience working on a major randomised control trial. I was incharge of many aspects of the RCT. Initially it involved database design, data entry and data collection. Also I did baseline data analysis, finally analysis and extended analysis with the results and that of another RCT (the SOLVD Dataset)

I then went on to do a Masters in Biostatistics of which I have completed 9 subjects. I have 1 remaining (Survival Analysis) and 2 subjects of work placement. Although I have experience in survival analysis from my honours (recurrent event survival analysis) and my Mphil detailed below.

I have also started a MPhil (half a PhD) in the analysis of a 30 year lip cancer dataset using survival analysis and the construction of prognostic indexes. It will also include a meta-analysis comparing best treatment options for lip cancer.

My resume with work experience and details of my studies and marks can be inspected below:

Resume

Available Analyses

Simple tests (z test, t test, paired t test odds ratio, relative risk, risk differnce, Maentel Haenszel adjusting, score, wald, log likelihood etc.)

Linear Regression (Simple, Multiple, ANOVA)

Logistic Regression (Nominal, Ordinal, Binary, Binomial)

Poisson, Log Linear,

Other Generalised Linear Models (including Exponential distribution, Negative binomial Distribution and Gamma Distribution)

Repeated Measures Analyses (random effects)

Meta Analysis (Fixed and Random effects, but it must be noted that only Fixed are applicable)

Inter-rater agreement (continuous, nominal and ordinal outcomes)

Assessing Diagnostic Tests (Sensitivities and Receiver Operator Curves)

Continuous Quality Improvement (Special and Common Cause, Shewart, CUSUM and EWMA charts).

Prognostic Index – determined by getting the score (linear prediction of the survival model) and creating cutoffs which can be graphed using Kaplan Meier and tested via a logrank, goodness of fit and chunk wald test. (A novel new approach to survival analysis.

Survival Analysis, (single event and recurrent event)

All assumption testing for any of the models given above eg Goodness of Fit, residual normality, random scatter of residual, leverage, collinearity etc.

Also know the principles of Design of experimental studies and randomised control trials.

Analyses will be carried out in an upto date version of Stata.

Writeup of results included.
