Imagine yourself seated in a small helicopter.
You are at the side of a window, looking out. Below there is a city. Your
eye meets old houses, streets, people... and who knows what else. Nevertheless
you know that the city is Utrecht. In one way or another, your senses have
been able to classify a world of information, and reach a conclusion. If
you are not sure, you might ask yourself if the
Dom tower is still there. No other city will have anything alike. In
the next rounds of the helichopter, you spot it few times. Yes, you are
in Utrecht. Now you can tell the pilot how to get home.
The statistics that we are prepared to
develop for you at Scilla and Charibdis Research
are very much the same as this imaginary trip. We understand statistics
as a way of understanding the world, a way of formulating questions and
obtaining answers. Here an overview of our main services, and following

| If you have access to a world of data, we are prepared to dig it seeking the information that you want. In any data base there is relevant and unrelevant information. We know techniques to order it and classify it. Our experience in model building, time series and multivariate analysis enable us to find patterns and describe them. | Do you already have hypothesis on your topic? Experiments must be conceived. Control treatments, replicas, observational versus controlled experiments are issues that we are prepared to discuss with you. Power analysis and the assessment of pilot studies are tools frequently used at this stage. | Do you already have results? We analyze them. New techniques are constantly being developed . In the growing literature we track the proper analysis to your data. Generalized linear and nonlinear models, Anovas with different assumptions, bootstrapping and jackknifing tailored to your data; are some of our services here. |
We work on the basis of services personalized
to the client. Contact us as soon
as you need statistic advice. One interview, free of charge, and a budget
will be presented. Give it a try. We enjoy flying helicopters; you might
enjoy it as well.
