List of Statisticians

List-of-Statisticians.jpg

At PFCS, we take a scientific approach to our analysis, and we do a better job at performing unbiased statistical analysis on our projects than any other experts we've seen. We've written internal standards on how this should be performed, and have even delivered a Random Selection and Extrapolation of Construction Defects program to the public. Often, it is necessary to collaborate with a statistician to validate our method at trial. While we've personally worked with a hand-full statisticians over the years, we were interested to see who else our clients have worked with in the past. So we sent the following email to all of our current and past clients:

I need a little help. I need a good referral.

I am looking for a good statistician to work with on projects (legal cases, mostly), and to refer to clients (usually lawyers or insurance companies). He or she will need to evaluate and testify about the problems with extrapolation based on poor sample selection methods in building performance evaluations (generally construction defect cases). In addition, s/he will need to evaluate my company's investigation method, including our random selection protocol, and be able to explain in a scientific but understandable way... that it's awesome ;-)

The results were impressive. We received many responses with statisticians up and down the west coast and beyond, even as far as Georgia! A brief break-down of our results:
