I perform bio/med/clinical (or related scientific) data analysis on large datasets using Excel, R, and Python. If you need more back-end computational work, I can provide you with the data outputs as Excel, CSV, table reports in Word/PDF, etc. If you'd also like more submission/stakeholder-ready results, I can provide polished graphs, annotated results, PowerPoint slides, etc.
- Computation Examples: descriptive statistics (i.e. average, standard deviation, standard error, median) and inferential statistics (i.e. hypothesis/signficance testing, indpendent and dependent, 1-tailed and 2-tailed, t-tests, ANOVA testing, F tests, chi-squared tests, differences/means/variances/proportions), biomedical statistics (sensitivity, specificity, PPV/NPV, survival analysis)
- Visualization Examples: scatter plots, bar plots, line plots, box-and-whisker plots, heatmaps, violin plots, volcano plots, Kaplan-Meier curve
- Machine Learning Examples: supervised and unsupervised models (clustering, linear/log regression, classification), train/test splitting, k-fold cross validation, model evaluation metrics (RMSE, MSE, MAE, confusion matrix, F1-score, accuracy, precision, recall), ROC curves
- If you do not know what type of data analyses you need, I'd be happy to advise you on best practices based on the type of data you're working with and how you're intending to use it, as a part of my services.
- Note: I can also perform data cleaning/pre-processing where neccessary, i.e. organizing data, encoding categorical variables, reviewing for quality, imputing missing values, etc.
I also perform life sciences/preclinical/medical research/writing. I typically work with version histories and revisions/reviewing/comments in Word. If you need more back-end/copy writing work, I can provide drafts in Word documents. If you also need more polished editing and formatting (i.e. styles/headers, table of contents, figures/tables, extensive references, appendices), I can provide as Word and PDF.
- My background is in neuroscience, physiology, immunology/cancer, toxicology/drug testing, cell & tissue engineering, medical device prototyping/development/analysis, robotics/assistive devices, surgical devices, software-as-medical-device, etc. However, I am familiar with many more areas, from years of reading scientific literature and attending academic seminar in cutting edge life sciences, clinical, and biomedical engineering research. For example, I am very familiar with rheumatology and psychiatry literature.
- Examples of writing: grants/proposals, article/review manuscripts, reports, educational materials (textbook chapters), health blogs
- I can tailor to level of rigor (i.e. types of references/sources), depth (i.e. technical detail, expertise), and style (i.e. formality, academic vs. industry stakeholders vs. patients/clients, 1st/3rd person) you'd like based on your intended audience and application/publication. If you're unsure what you need, I'd be happy to advise you as part of my services.
