The areas in which I offer services, advice and consultation are:
This includes the moderation of focus groups meetings, compilation of qualitative data collected in focus groups, use of the data in the production of questionnaires for surveys, and the use of focus group data in providing recommendations and assessment.
Focus group fees are $250 per focus group along with travel expenses and direct costs such as focus group incentives.
This includes the design of questionnaires based on the substance of research (or based on information collected in focus groups), formatting of questionnaire based on the recent research on question order effect, and other questionnaire design techniques to produce an effective instrument for data collection.
This includes the design of sample for selecting a representative snapshot of the population under study by phone, mail or face to face surveys. The various designs could include directory-based Random Digit Dialling, list- based sample of house-hold addresses, Waksberg design for telephone surveys. The selected sample can be provided on labels or specific Interviewer Record Forms.
Telephone book based samples are deliveres in electronic format within 24 hours. For more complex samples such as targeted samples, RDD and other designs the turn around time is between 48 and 72 hours.
Sample costs are computed on the basis of volume.
For samples sizes less than 1,000 the cost is computed at $0.07 per piece.
For sample sizes between 10,000 and 1,000 cost is computed at $0.05 per piece.
For sample sizes over 10,000 cost is computed at $0.04 per piece.
This includes statistical analysis of data collected in surveys starting with simple descriptive and going up to complex statistics required in scholarly research. The analysis is then reported in summary and detailed reports with the use of high quality graphics and tables. If needed, the report can be provided on Macintosh or IBM-compatible diskettes.
We offer 24 hour turn arounds on basic data analysis for pre-formatted ASCII data sets of any size. Basic analysis includes frequencies, central tendencies and variance computatis. The charges are $500 per data set.
Other analysis is computed at $35 per hour.
For more information contact Ananda Mitra with the details of the data format and watch it crunched overnight.
A customized and user friendly computer program for data analysis and presentation has been developed that uses a series of menu driven commands to produce frequency tables, crosstabulations, bar and pie graphs. This is an invaluable tool for researchers and practitioners who have gathered data and need quick access to it without going through complex statistical programming.
