> Expert biostatistical consulting for Honours students, HDR (Masters and PhD) candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and clinical researchers in health and applied sciences. Australia-wide, 100% online. ABN 69 213 440 669.

LM Statistics was founded in 2019 by Laryssa Marcondes, a statistician trained at the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of São Paulo (IME-USP), to make expert statistical support accessible to academic researchers. The Australian operation (ABN 69 213 440 669) serves researchers at universities and health institutions across Australia, operating entirely online.

**Lead Statistician:** Laryssa Marcondes, MSc Statistics (University of São Paulo, USP). Over 7 years of experience in statistical consulting for academic research in health and applied sciences across Brazil and Australia.

## Services

- [Data Analysis](https://lmstatistics.com.au/services/data-analysis): Collaborative statistical analysis of research data — from data cleaning and method selection through modelling, interpretation, and a detailed technical report. For Honours theses, HDR dissertations, postdoctoral publications, and clinical research.
- [Research Design Support](https://lmstatistics.com.au/services/research-design): Sample size calculation, power analysis, sampling strategy, questionnaire design and validation, and statistical methodology planning — before data collection begins.
- [Publication and Grant Support](https://lmstatistics.com.au/): Statistical analysis and methodology support for manuscript submission to peer-reviewed journals and for the statistical sections of ARC and NHMRC grant applications.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Do you write the thesis or paper for the researcher?**
No. LM Statistics provides statistical consulting — not ghostwriting. The intellectual content, reasoning, and written work belong entirely to the researcher. Supervisors must be informed that statistical consulting is being used.

**Do researchers need to acknowledge your involvement?**
Yes. Consistent with the research integrity expectations of Australian universities, researchers are asked to acknowledge the statistical support in the Acknowledgements section of their thesis or paper. Guidance on appropriate wording is provided.

**How much does statistical consulting cost?**
Pricing is tailored to each project. A free, no-obligation quote is provided after an initial discussion. There are no hidden fees.

Yes. Statistical consulting is a recognised practice under the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research, provided it is acknowledged appropriately in the thesis or publication.

**What does the researcher receive?**
A detailed technical report, a results walkthrough session, and ongoing email support about the delivered work — included at no extra cost.

**Which disciplines do you work with?**
Medicine, Nursing, Physiotherapy, Public Health, Epidemiology, Psychology, Pharmacy, Nutrition and Dietetics, Dentistry, Veterinary Science, Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Midwifery, Biomedical Science, Social Work, Education, Biology, and more.

**What statistical methods do you cover?**
Descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing (t-test, ANOVA, chi-square, Mann-Whitney), linear and logistic regression, survival analysis, factor analysis and PCA, structural equation modelling (SEM), multilevel modelling, time series analysis, psychometric scale validation, sample size calculation, power analysis.

**How does the consulting process work?**
1. Initial meeting to understand the research aims and data. 2. Proposal of analyses and quote. 3. Statistical analyses conducted. 4. Delivery of detailed technical report. 5. Walkthrough session to explain the findings. 6. Ongoing support for questions about the delivered work — included at no extra cost.
