The Analysis Factor
reviews and complaints

The 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!

The Analysis Factor saved my career. Imagine that your university statistics instructor was a phenomenal teacher and actually still available to walk you through an important project at work. I am a health plan professional with a background in program evaluation who provides a variety of performance analyses to our executives. I have a Master of Public Policy degree from [University Name] and a solid background in quantitative analytics and applied statistical work. I have utilized a variety of online learning platforms (Coursera, Udemy, and edX) since they first became available and watched instructional videos on multiple statistical topics to keep my skills current. I also utilize Stack Overflow and Reddit Exchange for help with the R Open Source Programming Language I have relied on for 10 years. I discovered The Analysis Factor about the time I started using R at my current position and appreciated their online instructional format with live instructors, a responsive support forum and massive resource library with insightful articles and videos on just about any statistical issue one is likely to be faced with. I (and surely most applied statisticians) live in the world of messy, incomplete, and skewed data that push the boundaries of what we understand to be the required assumptions of our statistical models. This organization was a game changer for me. The Analysis Factor team is easy to interact with and they genuinely love what they do (teach statistics to practitioners of all levels and make the world more informed). Karen and Kim have provided one on one consulting on two or three of my projects and provided me advanced options (in my case in R) that met my specific needs and showed me how to run necessary diagnostics to have confidence in my results. I will continue to use their services until I retire and maybe after. Much gratitude!

The Analysis Factor is my go-to place for all questions involving advanced statistics and my send-to place for workshops and tutorials for any member of my consumer insights team who needs some training or even brushing up on skills they haven't used in awhile. I've been a member for many years and plan to stay one for a very long time.

Concur with everything stated by reviewer JD W on the review if 6/23/22. Cannot rate everyone at The Analysis Factor highly enough. This is based on direct experience working with many of them on a 1:1 basis on a number of projects over the years. I'm an academic anesthesiologist / outcomes researcher at a teaching hospital in NYC with over 20 years experience.

I am a physician educator. I support my Pediatric Emergency Divisions Research and Statistics. I have been a member of the Analysis Factor for over 5 years. Excellent service. Frequent emails announcements re new monthly webinars. Well constructed website easy to navigate. Valuable educational workshops fairly priced. Great customer service and phone or online help. Highly reccomended.

I am a health care clinician and researcher and have found the Analysis Factor to be a unique resource for statistical knowledge. I've participated in their workshops, lectures, and statistical consulting services and been very satisfied with the professional quality. Their entire organization is top notch, and their business practices are very fair. I totally recommend this organization.

I've been a member of Analysis factor's statistically speaking program for about 5 years. I've also purchased several of their in depth workshops that I periodically revisit to brush up on certain things. They are very good at breaking down concepts and present stats methods in a digestible way. I really enjoy the forum and the stat chat Q&As and feel comfortable asking them any type of questions. Unlike some public forums, they don't make me feel like I should already know something or should have done an exhaustive search before asking a question.

I have been a member of The Analysis Factor for about 5 years and they have been nothing but wonderful. The value, knowledge, expertise, resources, and assistance that I get from being a member far outweigh the costs. I have learnt so much over the years and they have truly helped grow my love for and knowledge of statistics. Every single person on the team is experienced and helpful and I am always confident that if I get stuck, they will be there to offer their guidance. There are so many benefits to membership: discounted in-depth workshops, numerous live Q & A sessions, one-on-one consultancy, forums, and even free tutorials for non members...The A. Factor has it all! I don't see myself every stopping my membership because it is beyond worth it.

I have been a member since 2013. As a nurse educator teaching advanced courses in research methods and conducting my own research, I find both the online community and the individual consulting services at The Analysis Factor invaluable. I trust that Karen and her team are up to date on the latest techniques and thinking in the world of statistics because their materials contain up to date references, and they are conversant about these references. There is a diversity of expertise on the team, which is an added benefit because different disciplines have different points of emphasis and approaches. I love that I can post questions to the forum and receive answers within a day or two. Finally, Karen and her team are gifted communicators to those of use who work mainly in the applied statistics space. I took a course with a competing service, and there was too much emphasis on calculating tests by hand. Seeing formulas and doing calculations is helpful but only to a point.

I am a statistical consultant and psychologist and have been a member of the Analysis Factor for many years now. I appreciate knowing I can always find answers to tricky (or not so tricky) problems in my work. Their webinars are very informative and clear, and I have repeatedly returned to them to brush up on knowledge. The forums are great for asking questions related to specific research projects, either online, or live in the Q & A sessions. Those are great, because you can apply the information directly to your own work. I've attended to Q&As not only to get help with my problem but also to see how the instructors answer and problem solve with other people's problems. It's a great way to get more fluent in statistics. The instructors are great, and Karen G M is both extremely knowledgeable and clear in her presentations, and works smoothly and elegantly with her attendees. Staff is very responsive and any problems or glitches, few and far between, are handled promptly. I recommend Analysis Factor unequivocally.

I find the monthly webinars and the more extensive workshops very useful in my research work and in my teaching. Their approach which emphasizes content understanding over formulas and equations is a welcome departure from many methods workshops available online. I also like the fact that they include several common statistical packages in their presentations and sample analyses. Overall, many of the workshops and webinars address issues that arise frequently in research analyses. They also address many of the types of questions that my students raise in class or in trying to do assigned analyses. Finally, I love the breadth of topics. There is something for everyone from advanced generalized linear mixed models to testing the assumptions of common statistical tests. Despite my many years in research, I learn something new from each session I attend. Lastly, they make available workshops and webinar from the past so that one can return and brush-up on points forgotten. For anyone involved in data analysis of all types, I recommend the Analysis Factor without reservation.

I'm an educational researcher at a large university, helping faculty members assess the impact of changes they have made to their courses, and I've been a member of The Analysis Factor for over 5 years. It is hard to overstate how valuable that membership has been to me professionally. I have made use of their on-demand materials; their live, instructor-led webinars; and their web forums. All of these sources of information have been extremely helpful in my work. Not only are Analysis Factor staff knowledgeable and credentialed, bringing great theoretical understanding to quantitative empirical research, but they are practicing professionals who understand the challenges of actually undertaking research projects in the field, with all the messiness that that entails. Prior to discovering The Analysis Factor, when I needed assistance with statistical techniques, I searched the internet, yielding decidedly mixed results which I frequently did not understand, nor could I evaluate the quality of what I found. I have no doubt that the value I bring to my university through my work has been enhanced tremendously as a result of my membership in The Analysis Factor.

I have been a customer of The Analysis Factor for well over 5 years. I'm an adjunct faculty teaching statistics to Psychology doctorate students and an evaluation researcher. I've taken easily 6 or 7 Analysis Factor online statistics courses over the last several years, viewed many of the hour-long statistics videos, and participated in the forums. I've learned so much that has contributed to my being able to be a better instructor. I've also honed my statistics skills for my own research analyses and publications. I think the Analysis Factor team provides the best statistical support services and classes I've ever encountered. The staff are always professional, communicate well, and are very experienced in applied, real-world statistical analyses. They know what they're talking about, but at the same time, when they aren't familiar with something, they'll tell you - then find someone who is (this happened in one of my forum exchanges with Jeff). The value of the annual membership fee and the cost of the classes has been well worth it. The online courses are incredibly high quality in their content and implementation. I've taken both the synchronous-in-real-time classes and the asynchronous online classes. The teaching styles are clear and understandable. The handouts and online materials are comprehensive and helpful. The staff/consultants including Karen, Michael, Jeremiah, Jeff, Kim, Audrey, and Simon have all been helpful in my interactions with them. I have recommended The Analysis Factor to my students and colleagues and will continue to do so.
