5 starsI used The Analysis Factor since ca. 2018. I'm a faculty member in a social sciences faculty. I conduct mid-level quantitative research. I teach quantitative techniques. Very few of my colleagues conduct quantitative research. This means that when I have questions about quantitative research (and in particular, questions about relatively specialized inferential statistics), I have to teach myself. This takes time. Thus, when I stumbled onto The Analysis Factor's website and free resources, I was intrigued. I took one of their courses on logistic regression. While I had learned this technique as a grad student, I never actually used it. Finding myself in a project where I might need to run logistic regressions, but lacking time to re-teach myself, I registered for the course. I figured it couldn't be worse than me trying to re-teach myself AND it was cheap (ca. 650 CAD). It was far superior to teaching myself. I could ask questions and get clear, helpful answers. I've since taken more courses, plus subscribed to the annual service. During the course registration process, the instructor identifies expectations about students' skills and what will (not) be covered, as they cater to multiple skill levels. I received an access code to the website to get a syllabus, the weekly slide decks, data sets and the corresponding code to practice what we learned. The code is usually a combination of SAS, SPSS, STATA and R, so you don't need to learn new software. My courses met live weekly for a lecture and again for a help session. They were also recorded for replay later. The founder (Karen) has a winning service model, probably developed while working as a statistical consultant at Cornell. Like competent experts, the instructors are clear when they are more certain and when they are less certain, and clarify their disciplinary experiences. They also provide monthly lectures on statistical topics, and members have access to bulletin boards.Review fromSandra S

5 starsThe Analysis Factor is a superb asset! it is helpful for people who are just starting out and need basic guidance on data analysis and statistics. However, I am a biostatistician and use this site for learning about things I missed learning previously or getting clearer understanding of things I do know. Their courses and workshops are excellent. Materials are provided in advance and videos are available for repeat viewing. For a small additional fee, one can get one-on-one private consultations. The two consultations I received on some complicated projects helped me produce analyses that were done correctly and enhanced my understanding of the modeling involved. Trainings on most aspects of statistics are available. They are classified by type and level of training. They provide a roadmap for a path through their offerings so that one can pick an choose the best route to learning. And they track it for you. I do not of any other resource like this. They meet you where you are and the price is reasonable. Absolutely a great company!!Review fromMark W

5 starsThe Analysis Factor has been of huge benefit to me. Interestingly, I teach statistics at a university and I have taken classes at Analysis Factor on techniques that I either already knew or at least had some experience with. However, Karen M***** and all the teachers at Analysis Factor often teach concepts in different ways than I do and this can be very helpful in dealing with my own students. In addition, they often cover areas of a topic I don't so I also learn new things. I can then integrate these new things into my own work (research or teaching) or alter it for the level of students I typically have. My ultimate plan in the next couple of years is to take most of their courses. They are a very good deal financially and intellectually. Really an easy 5/5.Review fromKaren M

5 starsThis company provides an invaluable service to scholars who work with quantitative data. Their numerous offerings, offered at a reasonable cost, address the breadth of statistical tests. Importantly these offerings are presented in an understandable and clear way, helping the recipient make sense of complex information. Their free offerings continue to build statistical expertise of members. The opportunity to have one-on-one consultation with a statistical expert is an invaluable service. Taken all together this company rates 10/10 - they are available, offer timely and relevant content, and have expertise in a variety of statistical tests and statistical analysis computer programs.Review fromJill E

5 starsI am so grateful for this valuable resource! Even though I have a doctorate, I am still working hard to improve my statistical knowledge and skills. Karen and her team have been tremendously helpful whenever I have a question or even when I want to take on a more challenging endeavor like learning a new software package. It’s a real relief to not feel adrift in a sea of methods, equations and rationales - The Analysis Factor is a life saver, indeed!Review fromChuck B

5 starsThe Analysis Factor provides a very useful service in statistical education, with a related line of formal consulting. This business helps professionals in various disciplines (ag, medicine, presumably others) by educating/reminding researchers who are not professional statisticians of strengths, weaknesses, and best practices for analysis techniques. Typically these are linear models or their extensions. Their services are not cheap but I have found them to be authoritative, transparent, and helpful.Review fromPatricia N

5 starsSo grateful to have Analysis Factor available. Classes are relevant to working data analysts and delivered in a student-friendly style. Letters and free commentary have been a great way to become aware of techniques I want to learn more about. The ability to go back and re-watch modules in classes is awesome and the additional resources added to each module are extremely helpful. This is a five-star educational resource!Review fromJulie S

5 starsI have been a member of the Analysis Factor for 8 years. The Analysis Factor filled a niche that was greatly needed. That is, providing cost-effective ways to help researchers with their statistical issues and questions. I have received valuable information on how to run statistical models that I could not find anywhere else. Karen is an excellent teacher and breaks things down into understandable concepts. Her team is great as well. I have taken several of the online courses and workshops, attended Q & A's, had private consultations, and posted questions on the forum. It is nice to know that there are ways to get answers quickly. Customer service is also very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend the Analysis Factor for anyone who wants to learn more or needs help with statistics.Review fromAnn W

5 starsI am delighted to give Karen Grace-Martin and the other AF personnel a 5-star review. At our house, we call them "the brilliant MIT statisticians" under whom we study. I love the breadth of subjects that they explore. I love how they explain broad subjects to statistical nuances with accuracy and detail. As a stats teacher, I know how many questions an engaged student can raise and and need for answers. I love AF's responsiveness: I ask a question on the website and for the most part they answer it quickly. As a researcher myself with a keen interest in numbers and focus on understanding nature and "her" laws, Analysis Factor is priceless. *** ******, *********************.com and ***************.orgReview fromAndrew A
