Statistical Support

The aim of the service is to contribute to the maintenance of high standards of published research at the institution. In other words, it aims at maintaining the high quality of quantitative research at TUT and improving the statistical skills of researchers. The office offers statistical advice and support to staff and postgraduate students.

Our objectives are to:

Provide statistical, methodological and data-capturing support;
Offer collaborative support and input into the design of the protocol, questionnaire or data-capturing design, statistical analysis;
Statistical reporting and statistical review of reports and manuscripts;
Ensure the capturing of data of a good quality in various forms (databases);
Assist with hypotheses, power analysis, sample size justification and statistics coaching; and
Eensure the career development of the Statistical Support Services’ statisticians, as it is important that they are offered authorship for their consultancy work where appropriate, and as a statistician author normally adds value to a paper by demonstrating its firm statistical basis.
