ProStatServices Offers 10% Discount To New Customers Through November

Charleston, S.C. (PRWEB) November 1, 2009 -- ProStatServices is offering first-time clients a 10% discount off statistical data analysis services during the month of November. Businesses, non-profit organizations, attorneys, researchers, doctoral students and myriad other groups can benefit from the statistics help that ProStatServices offers.

"You no longer need to hire expensive consultants or permanent employees to do your statistical analysis," says Jeffrey S. Kane, Ph.D., President and Principal Statistician. "Now, you can outsource all of this kind of work to us."

One example of how the company can offer assistance to a business is by using statistical trends in operating data to create prediction models.

"Businesses such as restaurants, spas or theaters often have different numbers of customers arriving each day, varying according to whether it is a weekday or a weekend," Kane says. "We can build models to help predict how many customers will need to be served so the businesses can plan their staffing and inventory levels for a specific time."

Although many larger companies may have someone in the statistical field in their own employ, Kane says that he can often supplement, improve upon, or validate the in-house solutions.

"They may have an in-house statistician, but I can often see ways of analyzing data that perhaps more narrowly focused statisticians might miss due to my experience in applying statistics in a wide range of fields," he says.

Kane's firm can also assist companies in their efforts to promote employee satisfaction, retention, and performance through the development and interpretation of employee surveys. Recently, Kane introduced a survey method that allows companies to develop expected Returns on Investment estimates for alternative courses of action in such areas as compensation, training and development, and recruiting.

"The capability of expressing alternative HR initiatives in terms of their expected ROIs (i.e., Returns on Investment) greatly facilitates decision-making," he says.

Kane is often also called on to be an expert witness in support of the plaintiff or defendant in lawsuits involving charges of employment discrimination (e.g., in hiring, retention, pay, performance appraisal). He conducts analyses to determine whether there has been adverse impact in HR decisions, what the expected pay levels should be for various protected groups, whether there is a significant difference in pay levels between groups, and whether assessment devices (e.g., tests, appraisals) are valid and fair.

"In addition to working with companies large and small, I stay very busy helping researchers and doctoral students in all phases of their research," Kane says. "To the extent that their schools allow it, we can assist students in the process of formulating their hypotheses, developing a workable research design, putting their data into SPSS or SAS databases, deciding on what procedures are needed to test their hypotheses, conducting the analyses, and writing up drafts of their results. Of course, we are very careful about staying within the ethical limits on our involvement in these activities as specified by the student's school and department."
