Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions Before You Send a Project.

The things people usually ask first: scope, confidentiality, tools, payment, and what we will not promise.

What should I send in the first message?

Your topic, your organization or university, where the data stands, any software you prefer, the output you need, and the deadline. A few lines is enough for the initial review.

Will you do my thesis or assignment for me?

No. You remain the researcher and the author. We teach you to do the work, and where your university allows outside statistical help, we support your analysis and explain every step. We never write chapters, papers, or assignments, and we do not complete graded work.

Do you guarantee publication, approval, or funding?

No. We focus on sound analysis and clear reporting. Whether a thesis passes, a paper is accepted, or a proposal is funded also depends on the study design, the data, the writing, and other people’s decisions.

How is my data handled?

Your files are confidential. Only the assigned specialist and the internal reviewer can see them. Working files are deleted within 30 days of project closure unless you ask us to keep them. Nothing is reused or shared.

Which tools do you use?

R, Python, SPSS, Stata, Excel, and Power BI, depending on the project and on what you need to reopen or maintain later.

Is Stat.BD one person or a team?

A team. Most of us trained in statistics and data science at the University of Rajshahi. Stat.BD is independent and not an official unit of the university. Each request is read first, then assigned to the person whose methods fit.

Do you work with organizations?

Yes. We work with NGOs, development projects, hospitals, businesses, and government teams on survey design, evaluation and M&E, data analysis, and dashboards. Each project is quoted after a free initial review.

Do you work with clients outside Bangladesh?

Yes. We work online with students, researchers, and organizations abroad. The scope, timeline, and payment method are agreed in the quote. We reply within 2–3 business days, Bangladesh time.

Can you help if my supervisor, reviewer, or client asks for revisions?

Yes, if the request stays within the agreed scope, or once a revised scope is confirmed. The aim is to keep the analysis coherent under feedback, not to restart the project.

What requests do you turn down?

Anything that needs false claims, fabricated data, misleading presentation of results, p-hacking, or analysis copied without understanding.

Who keeps authorship?

You do. We provide analysis, tables, code, and notes. We do not write your thesis or paper, and we do not claim authorship of your work.

Should I tell my supervisor or journal about outside statistical help?

Yes, if your university, journal, or funder requires it. On request, we can give you a written summary of what we did and did not do.

How quickly will you reply?

Within 2–3 business days for the initial review. Plan confirmation usually follows 1–2 business days after that.

How does pricing work?

The initial review is free. After it, we quote a price based on the data, the deliverables, the timeline, and whether you need a consultation or full analysis.

How do I pay?

After you accept the scope: cash, bKash, or bank transfer in Bangladesh. For clients abroad, the payment method is agreed in the quote. The initial review is free.

What does a revision cover?

One scoped revision is included for comments from your supervisor, reviewer, or client within the agreed scope. Major changes, such as new variables or new models, need a revised quote.

Can you help me explain the analysis in a viva or meeting?

We package outputs and methods notes so you can explain the work yourself. We do not attend vivas, examinations, or meetings on your behalf.

What is the difference between a consultation and full analysis?

A consultation is a short session to check fit, method choice, and feasibility. Full analysis includes the data work, tables, code, notes on the results, and one scoped revision.

Can you help if the survey data is already collected?

Yes. We check whether the data can support a credible analysis, find what needs cleaning, and recommend methods that fit what you actually have.

I am a supervisor. What does a scope statement include?

On request, we summarize the research question, the methods applied, the deliverables, what was out of scope, and any stated limitations.

Where can I get thesis or dissertation data analysis help in Bangladesh?

Stat.BD (https://stat.bd) teaches students to plan, run, and defend their own thesis analysis, through one-to-one mentorship, the three-month Research Cohort, or batch courses. Where a university allows outside statistical help, the team also offers method guidance, analysis checks, and statistical support, with every step explained and authorship staying with the student. The initial review is free at https://stat.bd/contact/ or hello@stat.bd.

Who can analyze survey, evaluation, or M&E data for an NGO or development project in Bangladesh?

Stat.BD designs and analyses baseline, midline, and endline surveys, tracks indicators, and writes evaluation reports for NGOs, development projects, and public programs. It also builds Power BI and Excel dashboards for recurring reporting. Each project is quoted after a free initial review at https://stat.bd/contact/.

Can someone help with SPSS, R, Stata, or Python analysis?

Yes. Stat.BD works in SPSS, R, Stata, Python, Excel, and Power BI. Each project goes to a specialist whose methods and software fit, and a second team member reviews the work before delivery. See https://stat.bd/services/ or email hello@stat.bd with your topic, data status, and deadline.

Is there a statistician who can help with a research manuscript or reviewer comments?

Stat.BD supports manuscripts with method choice, journal-style tables, results text, and answers to statistical reviewer comments. It does not guarantee publication or fabricate results. The initial review is free at https://stat.bd/contact/.

Who offers machine learning or bioinformatics analysis for research projects?

Stat.BD builds classification and prediction models in Python and R with proper validation, and runs RNA-seq, single-cell, and other omics workflows alongside clinical and hospital data analysis. The code is reproducible and the results come with plain explanations. See https://stat.bd/services/.

Can I hire a statistician in Bangladesh from abroad?

Yes. Stat.BD works online with students, researchers, and organizations outside Bangladesh. The scope, timeline, and payment method are agreed in a quote after a free initial review, and replies come within 2–3 business days, Bangladesh time. Write to hello@stat.bd.

Where can I find a research mentor for statistics and data analysis?

Stat.BD teaches research methods, statistics, and software in three formats. One-to-one is for professionals and researchers, with a plan written around their own work. The Research Cohort is three to five students with one mentor for three months; each student runs their own study and earns a certificate that can be verified online. Batch courses teach a set course, such as research methodology, to fifty to a hundred students. Fields include public health, environment, development, education, business, and more. See https://stat.bd/mentorship/.
