Do I need to purchase special statistical software?
We doubt it. We own all our own software and can handle many types of data analysis. We rarely come across research designs that cannot be accommodated by one of our software packages.
Our consulting fee (which may include help with research design, data entry, data analysis, and a written summary of the results) is often less than the price of the software alone. Software companies (SPSS, AMOS, SAS, Minitab, and those that are designed to do statistical analysis in excel, etc.) frequently have a base program for a certain price and numerous add-on's, not to mention a new "version" every year.
It is cost effective to have Statistical Analysis and Measurement Consultants provide research design and statistical analysis services.
