  1. It is always advisable to consult a statistician before you are planning to start a research work. This will save you time, and stress, as you will have a better idea on how to plan your research work.

    For complex study designs, data analysis challenges, interpreting statistical results, and ensuring appropriate statistical methods are used throughout the research process.  

  2. You should consult a statistician when:

    • Before starting a study: study design, sample size, variables
    • While planning analysis: choosing appropriate tests or models
    • With complex data: multiple variables, missing data, repeated measures
    • When using advanced methods: regression, survival analysis, mixed models
    • If results are unclear or conflicting
    • Before publication: to ensure correct analysis and interpretation
