Frequently asked questions

Can you help before data collection?

Yes, and early input is usually worth more than late-stage analysis. It shapes outcome definitions, sample-size requirements and the analysis plan while they can still be changed.

Do you provide analysis code?

Where applicable, analyses can be delivered with documented R or Stata code so the workflow can be inspected and rerun.

  2. 02Survival analysis: Kaplan-Meier, Cox regression and competing risksTime-to-event methods exist because censoring is information. The commonest errors come from forgetting that, or from ignoring the events that make the event of interest impossible.
  3. 03Missing data: complete-case analysis, imputation and what each assumesEvery method for handling missing data makes an assumption about why it is missing. The assumption is usually untestable, which is exactly why it has to be stated.
