At JVA, we use multivariate techniques to compliment design of projects and analysis of data, rather than treating as ‘black box’ techniques. Usage of such techniques allows complex data to be more easily explained producing a clear, but concise story. Our Consultant Statistician is always available to advise on use of statistical techniques at both the design and analysis stages of the project.
