INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS STATISTICS
Whether you are an executive at a large corporation or small business owner, completely out of your depth with business analytics or simply short on time, clear on your objectives or testing out new ideas, ARC’s statistical consulting team can help. All aspects of the business landscape are becoming increasingly data-driven; as a result, it is becoming not only more possible but also more imperative to understand the performance metrics driving your business. Moreover, data-driven approaches are increasingly being utilized across all business sectors to drive innovation and solve recurring managerial and operational problems. One major difference between business in the 20th century and business in the 21st century is the wide availability of past data. Using statistical methods, we are now able to estimate the impacts of certain conditions or variables on key financial outcomes such as future performance and demand for products or services of firms, thereby allowing management teams to make more informed decisions regarding firm policy and focus. If your firm has large amounts of past data and feel that organizing, summarizing, or analyzing them will be helpful, be sure to let ARC know!
Types of Business Statistics
In the Healthcare sector, statisticians have been collaborating with medical doctors, nurses, dentists, and other Public Health professionals to analyze data. From testing the efficacy of a drug or a vaccine to identifying gene expressions that may be significantly associated with certain health conditions, Statistics (and Biostatistics) has been a powerful tool in healthcare research for decades. ARC works with many biostatisticians who have been collaborating with clients in the healthcare sector for years to assist them with their data analysis needs.In Economics and Finance, statistical modeling is often used to predict future prices of goods or market performance over a key timeframe. Many investing strategies are based on statistical algorithms, where past data can be used to make profitable future investments through analyzing past patterns and trends. Governments also use statistical models to estimate or predict economic measures such as the GDP or the GINI coefficient. ARC has worked extensively with analyzing Economics and Finance-related data including large-scale corporate data, government data, and stock market data (e.g. NASDAQ, SP500, etc.).
ARC’s statistical consultants take pride in being able to bridge the gap between academic and corporate research, while still adopting the same collaborative approach that drives our comprehensive academic consulting services. This means that the client will be able to understand exactly what factors have contributed to their business success and to what extent, while receiving background information on why their corporate decisions will also be academically sound and justified. Although receiving statistical consultation services may not be a make-or-break for your business, it can be an excellent supporting tool for understanding what improvements may be needed to take your success to the next level.
