"I am a Ph.D. candidate in Math Education. After I completed the data collection phase of my dissertation, I was faced with the daunting task of building and testing a confirmatory statistical model. I am well-versed in advanced, graduate-level maths, but I didn't know the first thing about this type of modeling. Even when it came to a descriptive statistical analysis I didn't feel competent. I got onto the Internet and began to search for someone out there who I thought might be able to provide professional help with this sort of task. After researching many, many statistical consulting services, I came across the website of Minimax Consulting. I immediately noticed the profile of Minimax's research director, P.C. Chabot. His photo alone spoke words of welcome, and I almost felt as if P.C. was saying: "I understand your task, and it is not a problem for us." My intuition told me that Minimax would most likely be able to offer me the much-needed consultation that I was confronted with. I unquestionably made the right decision: The quality of work and attention to detail that Minimax provided me with was as professional as it was impressive. The words that they advertise on their website are true to form: "nothing is too complex for us" and "we offer unlimited support." Their actions are indeed their word. The folks at Minimax are gems to work with and extremely patient as well. They are a well-polished team. I count myself most fortunate to have worked with these incredible people."

"I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated working with you and your statistical team. I was thrilled and relieved to learn that you could provide statistical support as well as other supportive services as I completed my doctoral dissertation. I can now feel confident that my statistical analysis was completed thoroughly and accurately. Finally, I am so thankful that you helped me to completely understand the results, and that I will be prepared to defend my dissertation when the time comes. You have been a lifesaver!"
- Dean Haxton

"I was at my wits end with another online statistical consulting firm and was ready to give up. Thank God for Minimax; I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't discovered them! Their turnaround time is extremely fast plus they are responsive, accurate, and available if you need to talk with them regarding the work they have done before and after the statistical analysis. The other firm I had worked with was responsive until I paid, and then after that I could not get a hold of anyone. When I had finally received my results sections weeks later, the information was incorrect and it had to be redone, but there was no one to be found. Thank God for Minimax - they are wonderful!"

"I worked with primarily P.C. Chabot and Brian Goodhart on my PhD dissertation. They were extremely prompt... I never had to wait on them. They took care of my Chapter 4 (Data Analysis and Results), and they seemed to respond like it was a piece of cake. It was a mixed methods study and they mostly helped on the quantitative part. I did the design, developed the instrument, completed the research, collected the data, and sent Minimax the results in an Excel file. I used an online survey tool. They took what I provided and gave me the tables and explanations. I reviewed their draft, and it went back and forth a couple of times but they were very prompt - often the same day. I prematurely paid them in February but didn't need them until June or July due to the revisions required by my committee. They kept in touch with an occasional e-mail to see how I was doing and when I expected to need them - that was nice. Oh, at one point I did get frustrated because I thought they made a big mistake and called them. I found out I did not understand what the data was really saying. Brian was super patient in explaining everything to me until I got it. What a relief. I also got a tiny bit of guidance from Minimax on my Chapter 3 research design. I asked them to look at my design and see if I was on track, even though I contracted them for Chapter 4 only. Once they gave me the Chapter 4 content analysis back, I kept asking questions to understand the data as it was presented. They were so helpful and friendly. They also helped draft the PowerPoint presentation for my final defense. I mostly dealt with them via e-mail until the very end, when it was necessary to have several phone conversations. I don't know if I could have done it without them - certainly would not be done this year. I am not an expert in statistics by any stretch but I feel very smart on my work. I am completely confident in how I will do in the oral defense. If you considering Minimax, they are the best - go for it. Worth every penny!"

"In the midst of finishing up my thesis for graduate school, the process began to become very stressful. I was not for sure how to begin my secondary analysis, and I started to search for help via the Internet. During my search, I found Minimax Consulting and saw how qualified their services were. In comparison to various consulting firms and private statisticians, Minimax provided excellent service for a reasonable price. PC communicated with me during the entire thesis process. If changes or additions needed to be made, he remained in close proximity. I am very thankful for finding Minimax and would recommend their services to anyone!!!!!! I was very pleased with the finished product and I was able to graduate within the timeframe I wanted."
- Angela Morris

"Minimax Consulting helped me tremendously with a very complex paper and a limited deadline. Thank you so much guys for your input and your mastery of statistics tools"
- Karim Bennis

"Minimax Consulting's professional staff have been a blessing in disguise. Granted, I was worried in the beginning, but my goodness the end results have relinquished my stress and are worth more than the titanium pennies I spent. My gratitude cannot be expressed in words ... rather my actions ... and because I cannot physically give each of the members of this exceptional staff a hug ... I extend my virtual arms and send all of you a might BIG smile! The quality of work produced in the guaranteed turn around time was extraordinary. They hit every mark without hesitation and faithfully stuck with me to the end. My defense was smooth sailing with no questions from my committee, and I credit this accomplishment to the very competent staff at Minimax Consulting. They not only aided me in my final product but also in my conceptual understanding of the practical applications of qualitative analysis (using NVIVO). Forever Grateful."

"I am an Indian PhD student in Australia.  After I completed the data collection stage of my thesis, I came up with extensive numerical data with no obvious meaning. So, I was faced with the discouraging mission of doing the data analysis part. Even though I tried it by myself, I didn't feel capable. After a few months with this problem, I began searching for someone in Australia and/or America to help me with my data. After few days, I found dozens of websites and I started e-mailing them. The only one that I felt happy to deal with was Minimax Consulting. I reckon myself the luckiest student to have worked with these helpful people. They did more than I had expected; I’m very happy with my results chapter, and I recommended Minimax to all my researcher colleagues."

"My 8th grade daughter, who loves anything to do with mathematics, has suddenly taken an interest in statistics after all of your hard work. She's even commented that she might like to be like PC someday!"
- Lisa W.

"My chair required that I use an APA editor before submitting my dissertation/clinical research project for final review. After looking online and researching information about different companies, I went with Minimax Consulting. Not only were they familiar with my program's requirements, but they were reasonably priced (which is important to full-time graduate students) and well supported by previous consumers. Minimax consultants were able to whip my dissertation into shape in less than one week. Better yet, they responded faithfully to all subsequent requests I made along the way. Submitting my dissertation and formally defending went off without a hitch - thanks to the help of Minimax Consulting! They are experts in this business!"
- Argosy University Student

"Minimax Consulting helped me successfully graduate and earn a PhD. I enjoyed working with this firm because they were able to take care of all of my needs. They helped me get my Dissertation Proposal approved and also assisted me with Chapter 4 (Findings) and Chapter 5 (Summary, Conclusions, and Recommendations), along with getting ready for my oral defense. There is no doubt that this company not only saved me money but also saved me time and helped me graduate sooner than I originally expected. If you are working on earning a doctoral degree and would like assistance with this process, I would recommend you give Minimax Consulting a try."
- Northcentral University student

"I strongly recommend Minimax's service to any graduate student facing the daunting task of writing a dissertation. I was forced to change the emphasis of my dissertation from a quantitative research study to a mixed methods curriculum project. Minimax has been my guide through this difficult journey. In the middle of my curriculum project, the university changed the requirements for the dissertation. It was no problem to Minimax. Within days, I had suggestions to meet these higher requirements. Their methodology and data analysis sections were outstanding. My committee has commented on the excellence of these sections. In addition, the APA editing was simply the best I have seen. Thanks to Minimax, my dissertation meets the high standards required by my university and has reduced dramatically my stress level. It is money well spent to hire a professional organization that produces such outstanding results!"
- Walden University student

"Meaningful scholarship requires having access to the best resources, tools, and support. Minimax Consulting offers insightful understanding of research practices, methods, and various types of software to provide the researcher with the dependable assistance necessary to address complex academic issues and challenges. The staff at Minimax Consulting is superb!"
- University of Phoenix student

"I used the professional services of Minimax for over 4 years during the completion of my PhD program (this included my military tour in Afghanistan). Based on their outstanding performance, I wholeheartedly recommend their services in statistical analysis to anyone needing assistance in their PhD program or other work. Not only did Minimax properly advise me of the right statistical tests to use, but they also ensured I understood why, and were able to answer any questions I had regarding the statistical interpretation for my dissertation work. In most cases, their recommendations far exceeded that of my professors, who were always impressed with the statistical tests performed. My background in Statistics is minimal, however, due to Minimax’ superb support and unlimited professional rigor I was able to complete my dissertation on a very complicated subject and for this I am completely grateful."
