Our Story and Mission
StatWorks was established in Limassol, Cyprus in 2013 by a group of statisticians who recognized a growing need for rigorous analytical support in the region. We observed that many researchers and organizations possessed valuable data but lacked the specialized methodological knowledge needed to extract reliable insights. Our founding team combined academic training in quantitative methods with practical experience in applied research across multiple disciplines.
Over the past decade, we have worked with clients ranging from academic researchers preparing manuscripts for publication to healthcare organizations evaluating intervention programs and businesses analyzing customer behavior patterns. This diversity of projects has strengthened our ability to adapt statistical methods to different research contexts while maintaining methodological standards. We have contributed to research published in peer-reviewed journals across fields including medicine, psychology, economics, and environmental science.
Our mission centers on making sophisticated statistical methods accessible and applicable to real-world research questions. We believe that rigorous analysis should be transparent and reproducible, with clear documentation that allows others to understand and verify our work. This commitment to openness extends to our collaborative approach with clients, where we invest time in understanding their research context and explaining our analytical decisions in practical terms.
We maintain our position at the intersection of statistical theory and applied research by actively engaging with methodological literature and participating in professional development activities. This ongoing learning ensures we can offer current approaches to analytical challenges while remaining grounded in well-established statistical principles. Our goal is not simply to produce numbers, but to help clients draw valid conclusions that advance knowledge and inform decisions.
Based in Cyprus, we serve clients throughout Europe and internationally. Our location provides us with exposure to diverse research traditions and multicultural perspectives, which enriches our understanding of different approaches to inquiry. We work in English and collaborate with researchers regardless of their geographical location, utilizing modern communication technologies to maintain close working relationships throughout projects.
Our Analytical Methodology
Evidence-Based Statistical Practice
Our analytical approach follows established statistical principles supported by methodological research. We select techniques based on their appropriateness for specific research questions and data structures rather than applying routine procedures. When choosing between analytical options, we consider factors including study design, measurement properties, sample characteristics, and the assumptions underlying different methods.
We stay current with methodological advances through regular review of statistical literature and participation in professional development activities. This includes understanding newer techniques like machine learning algorithms while maintaining expertise in classical methods. Our emphasis remains on selecting approaches that are well-suited to each project's specific circumstances rather than adopting methods simply because they are novel.
Transparency and Reproducibility
All our analyses include comprehensive documentation of procedures, decisions, and rationale. We provide annotated code that shows exactly how results were obtained, making our work reproducible by others. This documentation includes details about data preparation steps, handling of missing values, assessment of statistical assumptions, and sensitivity analyses exploring how results might change under different analytical choices.
We believe transparency strengthens the credibility of research findings. When assumptions are violated or results are ambiguous, we clearly communicate these issues rather than presenting overly simplified conclusions. Our reports include discussions of study limitations and appropriate caveats about the scope of inference that can be drawn from analyses.
Collaborative Engagement
Effective statistical consulting requires ongoing dialogue between analysts and researchers. We invest time at project outset to understand research goals, theoretical frameworks, and practical constraints. Throughout analyses, we maintain regular communication to discuss findings as they emerge and adjust approaches when unexpected patterns appear in data.
Our explanations aim to build statistical understanding rather than simply delivering results. We help clients develop intuition about why certain methods are appropriate and what different results mean in substantive terms. This educational component enables researchers to engage more deeply with their findings and communicate results effectively to their audiences.
Quality Assurance Procedures
We implement multiple verification steps to ensure analytical accuracy. Data are checked carefully upon receipt to identify potential errors or inconsistencies. Analyses include diagnostic procedures to assess whether statistical assumptions are reasonably met. Results undergo internal review before being shared with clients, with particular attention to ensuring that conclusions align with what the data actually demonstrate.
When appropriate, we conduct sensitivity analyses to examine how results might change under different analytical approaches or assumptions about missing data. This helps establish the robustness of findings and identifies which conclusions rest on stronger versus weaker evidence. Our goal is to provide clients with an honest assessment of what their data reveal.

Our Professional Values and Expertise
StatWorks operates according to principles that prioritize research integrity and methodological soundness. We believe statistical analysis serves research best when it is conducted transparently, with careful attention to assumptions and limitations. Our commitment to reproducibility means we document our work thoroughly and provide code that allows others to verify our findings. When results are ambiguous or assumptions are questionable, we communicate these issues clearly rather than presenting oversimplified conclusions.
Our expertise spans classical statistical methods and contemporary analytical approaches. We work regularly with experimental designs, observational studies, surveys, and secondary data analysis. Our team has particular depth in areas including regression modeling, multilevel analysis, time series methods, survival analysis, and multivariate techniques. We also incorporate machine learning methods when they offer advantages for specific analytical goals, always with attention to appropriate validation and interpretation.
We view consulting as an educational partnership where we help clients develop their analytical thinking alongside addressing immediate project needs. This means explaining why certain methods are appropriate, discussing trade-offs between different approaches, and building understanding of what results actually demonstrate. Many clients return to us across multiple projects, which we attribute to this emphasis on collaborative learning and clear communication.
Quality assurance is embedded throughout our analytical process. We check data carefully upon receipt, assess assumptions systematically during analysis, and review results internally before sharing them with clients. When conducting analyses for publication, we pay particular attention to ensuring that methodology sections accurately describe procedures and that conclusions align with statistical evidence. Our work has supported research published in numerous peer-reviewed journals across diverse disciplines.
Professional development remains a priority for our team. We maintain current knowledge through regular engagement with statistical literature, participation in professional conferences, and ongoing training in new methods. This commitment ensures we can offer informed guidance on contemporary analytical challenges while remaining grounded in fundamental statistical principles. Our location in Cyprus provides access to European statistical networks and international collaborative opportunities that enrich our practice.
