WHERE CHAPTER 4 GETS STUCK
Most results chapters stall at one of three points.
Start with the one that fits.
Confirm that your analysis answers your research questions and fits your data before you write it up.
Turn SPSS, R, or Stata output into numbers you understand and can explain in plain language.
Make sense of committee comments and bring your tables and reporting up to APA 7 standards.
WHAT A STRONG RESULTS CHAPTER COVERS
Sample description, missing data, and the checks that show your data are fit for the planned analysis.
One analysis per question, with the test statistic, degrees of freedom, p-value, and effect size reported in APA 7 format.
State what the results show. Save meaning, implications, and limitations for Chapter 5.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Dr. Yel does not write your dissertation or any chapter of it. The decisions, the interpretations, and the prose are yours. His role is to advise, teach, and review.
Nothing is handed over unexplained. We work through each method, assumption, and result until you can defend it on your own.
Programs differ in what outside help they allow. Check your policy and let your chair know you're working with a statistical consultant.
Dr. Yel declines work that would misrepresent authorship or data, such as writing chapters, altering or fabricating data, or anything your program's policy prohibits.

A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING
No. You write your results chapter. Dr. Yel helps you choose and check the analysis, understand the output, build accurate tables, and review your draft so the statistics are correct and you can explain every number.
Analyses are run together in live sessions, with you watching or at the keyboard, so you can explain each step to your committee. You keep the syntax or code from every session so you can rerun it yourself.
Non-significant results are valid findings, and they are not a sign that something went wrong. We can review whether the study had enough power, report effect sizes and confidence intervals, and word the result accurately without overstating it.
R, SPSS, Stata, SAS, Mplus, and Python. We use whatever your program or committee expects.
Yes. Bring the committee's comments and your current output. We work out what they are asking, whether a change in method is warranted, and how to respond to the feedback.
Program rules vary, so check your program's policy and let your chair know. Many students acknowledge statistical support in their dissertation.
The scope depends on your design, data, and the support you need. The free consultation is the place to discuss deliverables, pricing, and timing before you decide. See how pricing works.
