At MDR, rigorous analysis is at the heart of everything we do. Our team of analysts, statisticians, and policy researchers brings decades of experience transforming complex datasets into actionable insights that drive public policy and program improvements.

We specialize in analytical services that span the full spectrum of applied research, including:

• Sampling Design and Weighting: From stratified and multi-stage sampling to post-stratification weighting, our analysts ensure that survey results are representative and reliable—even in hard-to-reach populations.
• Advanced Statistical Modeling: Our team regularly applies multivariate regression, survival analysis, logistic models, and other advanced techniques to answer complex research questions and identify underlying trends.
• Data Imputation: We apply rigorous imputation techniques to address missing data, using methods such as hot-deck, multiple imputation, or model-based approaches to preserve the integrity and completeness of datasets.
• Data Verification and Cleaning: MDR applies rigorous data verification and cleaning protocols at every stage, including programmed logic checks, early and final data reviews, and post-collection validation to ensure datasets are accurate, consistent, and free from fraudulent or low-quality responses.
• Geospatial Analysis: MDR incorporates spatial analysis and equity lenses to identify disparities and target areas for intervention, providing clients with actionable data that supports more equitable outcomes.
• Custom Dashboards and Visualizations: We translate complex findings into user-friendly formats, including interactive dashboards, infographics, and presentations tailored for decision-makers and stakeholders.

Tools We Use

MDR’s analytical team works across industry-standard platforms including SPSS, R, SAS and Tableau. We adhere to best practices in statistical computing, documentation, and data security, particularly when handling sensitive health and personal data.

Commitment to Collaboration

We view analysis as a collaborative process. From initial research design through interpretation and dissemination, our team works closely with clients to ensure results align with their goals and are grounded in the communities they serve.
