About Federico

I am a PhD researcher at UCL working with large empirical datasets — Before the PhD I spent two years at Frontier Economics producing statistical evidence for competition cases. I have also worked as a visiting researcher at the Bank of England.

UCL MSc and MRes with Distinction, Warwick BSc with First Class Honours, over 400 hours of teaching including as a Teaching Assistant at UCL.

I work daily in R, Stata and Python, and I teach SPSS. More relevant than any of that: I teach statistics to people whose degree is not statistics, and who never expected to need it until a dissertation required one.

Most of the students I work with are in psychology, sociology, education, public health, business or politics. They are competent researchers with a real question, and they have hit a wall because their methods training covered which test to run without ever explaining why, and because nobody taught them the software. That is a teaching failure, not an ability problem, and it is straightforwardly fixable.

I teach the reasoning and the software together, on your data and your research question. You leave each session with output you understand and can defend in a viva, not with results someone else generated.

What I cover:
- Choosing the right test: what your data structure and question actually permit, and what they rule out
t-tests, ANOVA, chi-square, non-parametric alternatives and when the assumptions have failed
- Regression: linear, logistic, multilevel and mixed models, ordinal and count outcomes
- Factor analysis, reliability, scale construction and validation
- Survey data: weighting, missing data, attrition
- Longitudinal and repeated-measures designs
- Power analysis and sample size justification, before you collect rather than after
- Software from the beginning: SPSS, R, Stata — installation, data import, syntax, output
- Reporting to APA or your discipline's convention, including tables and figures
- Preparing to defend your methods under examination

No prior statistics or coding background assumed. I also work with academics and professionals returning to quantitative methods after years away, and with researchers preparing methods sections for publication.

IMPORTANT: To be clear before you get in touch: I teach analysis, I do not do it for you. I will not write your dissertation or run your regressions on your behalf — that is academic misconduct and it puts your degree at risk. What I will do is get you to the point where you understand and can defend every line of your own code and every number in your own results - i.e. you understand what choices to take in the empirical strategy and why.
