DATA CODING / PREPARATION

Clean variables.
Clear analysis.

Prepare the evidence before the model runs. We support survey response coding, variable setup, recoding, missing values, codebooks, and analysis-ready files for SEM, regression, survey analysis, impact evaluation, business reporting, and applied research.

A clean dataset creates room for a better question.Good coding is not clerical work. It is part of the analytical design.

01 / WHEN THE DATA IS NOT READY

#

Inconsistent variables create invisible rework.

The model can only be
as clear as the dataset.

Coding decisions shape what can be analyzed, checked, and explained later. We help make those decisions consistent, documented, and ready for the next method — across survey analysis, SEM, regression, impact evaluation, and business reporting.

01

Your survey export has unclear labels, inconsistent values, or mixed response formats.

02

You need reverse-coded items, categorical recoding, missing-value rules, or derived variables.

03

You want a codebook and a clean handoff before analysis begins.

Prepare my dataset

02 / WHAT WE SUPPORT

Specialist depth.
Practical output.

We turn a raw file into a documented analytical asset that another person — or your future self — can understand.

01

Survey coding

Make every response interpretable.

We set variable names, labels, value labels, response codes, and rules for items that need consistent treatment.

Variable naming
Value labels
Reverse coding
Categorical recoding
02

Data cleaning

Resolve the issues that hide in the file.

We review duplicates, invalid values, missingness, outliers, date formats, and structural inconsistencies before modeling.

Missing-value rules
Range checks
Duplicate review
Quality flags
03

Derived variables

Build analysis variables transparently.

We document scales, composites, indices, transformations, and other derived fields so they can be checked and reproduced.

Scale scoring
Composite variables
Transformations
Recode log
04

Codebook + handoff

Leave a dataset someone can use.

We provide clear documentation and a structured handoff for SPSS, Excel, CSV, R, Python, Stata, and related workflows.

Data dictionary
Cleaning log
Analysis-ready file
Handoff notes

03 / THE WORKFLOW

Make the next step
easier to see.

A useful engagement gives you more than a file. It gives you a clearer sequence from question to evidence to action.

01

Map

Understand the raw fields, response logic, and research variables.

02

Clean

Apply consistent rules and preserve the decisions made.

03

Handoff

Deliver a dataset ready for analysis and review.

04 / HOW WE WORK

Clear at every
step.

You stay close to the thinking, understand the trade-offs, and finish with work you can stand behind.

01

Review the raw export and codebook

Review the raw export and codebook.

02

Agree coding, missingness, and cleaning rules

Agree coding, missingness, and cleaning rules.

03

Apply, check, and document transformations

Apply, check, and document transformations.

04

Deliver the clean file and handoff notes

Deliver the clean file and handoff notes.

05 / A GOOD FIT IF YOU ARE

↗

Looking for a practical partner, not a black box.

Complex questions need
the right lens.

StatisticsEco combines statistical depth with practical communication across academic, industry, and public-sector questions.

01

A researcher preparing survey data for a dissertation.

02

A team moving data from Excel or forms into analysis software.

03

A project using SEM, regression, impact evaluation, survey analysis, or business reporting next.

04

A supervisor or analyst reviewing the quality of a dataset.

Still deciding if we are the right fit? Ask us directly — or find a quick answer below.

Which formats do you support?+

We can discuss SPSS, Excel, CSV, R, Python, Stata, and similar formats. The right handoff depends on your next analysis step.

Can you reverse-code questionnaire items?+

Yes. We can document reverse-coded items, scale scoring, composites, and the checks needed to confirm the transformation.

How do you handle missing values?+

We help distinguish structural missingness, invalid values, nonresponse, and user-defined missing codes before analysis decisions are made.

Will you provide a codebook?+

A data dictionary or codebook can be included in scope, along with a cleaning log and handoff notes.

Can you prepare data for SEM?+

Yes. Data coding and preparation can support SEM, CFA, regression, survey analysis, and other downstream methods.
