PETER FLOM, STATISTICIAN

Main Content

On Providing Recommendations

Peter Flom has not only kept up with emails when reviewing my research. He is available via phone to talk with me about data and research. Dr. Peter Flom has taken the time to read grant proposals, dissertations, and other parts of a huge research.

On Speed, Efficiency as well as Pro-activeness when Responding

Peter Flom usually gets back to me within 2 to 6 hours of my email request. Unbelievable, and beyond what I have experienced with other statisticians.

On Attention to Detail and Thoroughness:

Peter Flom looks closely at the data I provide. He asks questions so he can be sure to analyze the results correctly.

For example: Dr. Flom is currently looking at what is called Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA)…noting the research data currently being analyzed does not quite “make sense” (meaning children able to read more words, are scoring lower on the DRA). Peter cares about research… am finding through his expert feedback, questions, and dialog that the DRA assessment has issues with reliability and validity. Dr. Flom wants research, our research to be high quality!

Let Me Introduce Myself

I specialize in helping graduate students and researchers in psychology, education, economics and the social sciences with all aspects of statistical analysis. Many new and relatively uncommon statistical techniques are available, and these may widen the field of hypotheses you can investigate. Graphical techniques are often misapplied, but, done correctly, they can summarize a great deal of information in a single figure. I can help with writing papers, writing grant applications, and doing analysis for grants and research.

Specialties: Regression, logistic regression, cluster analysis, statistical graphics, quantile regression.

Dissertation Consulting

As a graduate student, you have spent years developing expertise to further your career in your chosen area of study… but that usually does not involve becoming an expert statistician. Yet the preparation of a successful dissertation involves the application of complex and expert-level statistical analysis methods that your standard research method or statistics courses did not prepare you for… because they were never meant to. The committee handling your dissertation understands you are not a statistician and many universities and mentors will in fact urge you to get expert statistical consulting services to aid in the dissertation process.

Quantitative Consulting

As a student, your area of expertise is not statistics. Yet the preparation of a successful dissertation involves conducting effective research, analyzing data and presenting the results ... all of which require a high level of mathematical and statistical expertise. Hiring a statistical consultant lets you focus on becoming an expert in your field of study rather than try to master statistics.I can help you develop a successful dissertation from proposal to defense and can offer assistance with any or all of these steps: research methodology and design, sample size calculation and justification, statistical techniques, validity and reliability of results, and interpretation of results.

Grant Proposals

The proper preparation and presentation of your grant proposal is essential to getting the funding you need for your research project and to further your career. I’ve been through the process many times myself and I know how frustrating it can be. With my experience I can help you avoid many of the most common errors that lead to grant rejection. Your grant proposal had a good chance of rejection if you cannot provide a convincing and compelling argument backed up with a plan for solid research methodology and expert level statistical analysis. In fact, the number one reason all grants get rejected is because of a poorly designed research plan, inappropriate methodology and lack of specific detail on the statistical treatment to be used.
