Data (Statistical) Analysis

The purpose of data (statistical) analysis at DGR is to provide the client with useful information from data bases that are often extremely large and complex. Through a process of explorative and question driven analysis employees at DGR work with clients to provide data analyses which meet their particular needs.

Statistical data analysis can be used to locate problem areas, measure change over time, assess the affectiveness of programs and increase the overall understanding of complex phenomena. The information obtained from such analysis can have a significant effect on policy making and assessment.

DGR specializes in the analysis and management of large databases and is equiped to deal with data in almost any format. Employees at DGR are skilled in both descriptive and inferential statistics. Results are presented in both tabular and graphical formats and explained in ways understandable to a variety of audiences, including those with little or no statistical expertise.

The Statistical Analysis System (SAS) is the primary software package used for data analysis and data management at DGR. Although other software packages such as S-Plus and Excel are used as needed.

This WWW page provides brief descriptions of completed and current projects along with a listing of technical publications. Links to special statistically oriented studies prepared by DGR for clients such as the New Mexico Traffic Safety Bureau and the New Mexico Health Policy Commission are also provided. Access to some analytically oriented example SAS Macros intended for public use will also eventually be provided.
