I received my PhD in 1998, and have worked as a biostatistician and ecologist at a range of universities and government institutes in Australia and California. As a statistician I have consulted widely for students, academics, and State and Federal research scientists and agencies. I have taught sampling and experimental design and statistical analysis courses in several countries using SAS, R, Statistica, Systat and SPSS. I have over 50 peer reviewed publications, and am an experienced reviewer for a range of journals.

    As a researcher I will provide you with not only the end product, but also the reasoning behind the analytical decisions, and potential alternative approaches. Where necessary, I will write a formal description of results suitable for a report or journal publication. I am experienced in analyzing data from many different disciplines, so can work with anything from business data, through to questionnaires, to conventional sampling data.

    I have a wide range of experience in analytical approaches including:
    - Advanced sampling and experimental design;
    - Generalized (including Generalized Additive Models) linear modeling;
    - Generalized Linear Mixed-Effects Modeling;
    - Multivariate ordination (unconstrained and constrained) and clustering;
    - Spatial autocorrelation, Semivariance and Geostatistical analyses;
    - Classification and Regression trees (including bagging, boosting and random forest approaches);
    - Non-linear and segmented regression;
    - Overdispersed, zero-inflated and hurdle models;
    - General randomization approaches

    I primarily work in R, however I have taught SAS, Statistica, Systat and SPSS. I do not have working copies of these programs, but I am happy to go through the output of any analyses you may have run to help you with interpretation. I can generate RShiny interactive analytical pages, so you can maintain an online expert system of the analyses you need to use on a regular basis.

    Additionally, while not my main field of expertise I can construct databases using MariaDB/MySQL, write custom SQL queries as part of the package. All I need is the list of users and the CSV files of the data, and either a means of connecting to your server or I can send the SQL code for you to run yourself.

    If you would like to use my services, please send me a message and we can arrange a call to discuss your project, what you would like from it - simply to make sure we are on the same page. It is important for me to understand the ‘why’ of the project, so I can deliver the ‘how’ and the final result.

    I look forward to hearing from you

      Working with Craig has been wonderful! I have been struggling with Visualization of Cluster plot for a longtime and Craig was able to understand my requirement very quick. It's his first working with Python but must say, he's amazing and fast learner.

      I definitely recommend working with Craig as his domain expertise in Statistics, Machine learning makes him the best!!
