Biostatistics
Clinical trial design and analysis: We support pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, and research institutions with protocol development, sample size calculations, interim analyses, and final reporting for FDA submissions. Our biostatisticians are proficient in survival analysis, mixed models, and Bayesian adaptive designs.
Epidemiological studies: From cohort and case-control designs to propensity score matching and instrumental variable analysis, we help public health organizations and healthcare systems quantify disease burden, evaluate interventions, and inform policy decisions with rigorous epidemiological methods.
Health outcomes research: We analyze patient-reported outcomes, quality-of-life measures, and longitudinal health data to support value-based care initiatives, comparative effectiveness research, and health economics modeling.
Survey Development
Harness the power of data-driven strategies to navigate challenges and achieve success.
Apex offers evidence-based solutions using techniques like big data analytics, machine learning, and simulation to help you design surveys that capture the insights your organization needs.
Instrument design and validation: We develop custom survey instruments grounded in psychometric theory, conducting cognitive interviews, pilot testing, and factor analysis to ensure reliability and validity before full deployment.
Sampling strategy: Our team designs probability and quota sampling frames, calculates appropriate sample sizes, and implements weighting schemes to ensure your survey results generalize to your target population.
Mode and administration: Whether you need online panels, telephone surveys, mail surveys, or mixed- mode designs, we advise on the optimal administration strategy to maximize response rates while minimizing nonresponse bias.
Program Evaluation
Logic models and theory of change: We work with nonprofits, government agencies, and foundations to articulate clear program theories, develop measurable indicators, and design evaluation frameworks that demonstrate impact to stakeholders and funders.
Quasi-experimental designs: When randomized controlled trials are not feasible, we employ difference-in- differences, regression discontinuity, propensity score matching, and interrupted time series designs to estimate causal program effects with appropriate caveats.
Cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness: Our economists and statisticians quantify the return on investment of your programs, helping you allocate resources to interventions that deliver the greatest social and financial value.
Qualitative Business Statistics
How Our Expertise Supports You
