About the lesson

Are you skeptical and worried about your understanding and skills in quantitative stuff, and methods? I prefer the following considerations while teaching the Quantitative Methods course:

Data Exploration and Data Mining:

Before moving towards the selection of suitable tools for the analysis of the data, it is imperative that we explore key features of the data, and check how each of the variables has been quantified in terms of continuous quantitative, discrete quantitative, ordinal, binary, or in form of categorical data.

Choosing among alternative quantitative methods:

It is important for us to carefully select the most suitable tools for the analysis of the data, by synchronizing methods with study objectives, and with the nature of the data at hand. In addition to the use of descriptive and inferential statistics, and the application of econometric modeling, sometimes research hypotheses require the application of either game theory or the mathematics of optimization. Regardless of your preferences for qualitative research, doing quantitative research and the ability to evaluate quantitative works should not be a limitation/ inability, for persons who have their full career ahead.

Interpreting findings and results:

Once the data has been analyzed, it is important for us to explore the underpinning of results, to rationalize them as part of the write-up of the paper. Validating model estimates, explaining the model utility, testing goodness of fit, and evaluating findings of specification tests are important parts of a research project. For the balanced write-up of the technical part of the paper, it is important to suggest some loss of information, measurement errors, if any. Claiming high or moderate confidence about the validity of your analysis, keeping in view limitations of the study is strongly been suggested for students and professionals.

Supplementing data analysis packages:

The applied aspect of data analysis is facilitated by R, Stata, Minitab, or packages like SPSS. To facilitate digitalized learning in online tutoring, I supplement all the stated packages through screen sharing, so that all steps and procedures related to the data management and the analysis of the data, may directly be visualized. In addition to that if there is a further need for making graphs, and writing equations, the digital tablet is used with the Microsoft Whiteboard and screen sharing options, so that student(s) get the similar feel of a live classroom.

Domains of application:

Quantitative methods are widely been used in Business administration, Economics, Sociology, Psychology, Political Science, Media studies, Education, and Medical Sciences.

Superb! Excellent opportunity to learn econometrics and the application, using the Stata package. Including other topics, I learned to use the panel data models, apply specification tests and interpret results. Syed is a technically competent person, who knows his subject and is able to communicate things very effectively. In addition to Econometrics, we had two sessions on my proposed thesis. He is an excellent resource!

Syed has strong grasp on applied model building, competing research designs and on methodological paradigms. He can delicately choose suitable methodology, with a reasonable understanding of efficacy of tools as well as limitations of a said method. He is naturally inclined to use quantitative modeling skills in his coaching and thesis supervision experience. Much recommended.

An incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and so calm person! So much support I received along the way and with positive feedback which gave me the confidence that no matter how difficult some courses are, it goes with right help. I sought help in quantitative methods to ensure my proficiency. Everything just seems so simple when right person helps and explain it. This right person was Syed.

Proficient and dependable! Syed is an outstanding researcher as well as an excellent mentor with lots of precision and patience in his coaching and in providing the feedback. I found him to be an extremely professional person with quality knowledge, immense proficiency in research skills and untiring nature. From adjusting my original research notions into well-structured research hypothesis, to structuring research design and in choosing quantitative tools to suit research needs, he has been superb. Despite the fact that I spent quite some time while working on my thesis, I was surprised to see how the academic value of my dissertation improved within a short frame of time, because of his continual feedback. With his guidance I was able to experiment Autoregressive distributed lag ARDL models, Autoregressive Moving average ARMA models as well as Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity ARCH models, as part of my dissertation. It has been an amazing lesson experience and I am truly over the moon with the quality of this thesis. I couldn’t have done it without you; I wish you and your family all the best to in these times.
I would highly recommend Syed, to students of research methods, quantitative modeling and to beginner’s in research who are in search of a mentor who will increase their capabilities drastically over a short space of time.

I benefited from Syed in 'Advanced Regression analysis' and then while preparing for Research proposal of master's dissertation. He has excellent command and strong foresight in furnishing research designs, in assessing academic worth of methodological choices, and how to advance rather naive research notions into a well-structured hypothesis. He has published in rather diversified and interdisciplinary domains of social sciences and humanities.

Much recommended for beginner's in research and for persons who are struggling with quantitative underpinnings of research designs.

Perfect! I can absolutely recommend Syed to students who are struggling with quantitative methods and statistics (or just if you want to improve expertise in applied aspects of quantitative skills). He is a really good teacher and explains relatively complex quantitative things using illustrations and in an easy manner. I have learned a lot from the tutoring with him.

Details

For communicating your academic concerns, and for the tentative planning of lessons, we can have a 15 minutes complimentary session.

The mentioned fee is for lessons on regular course contents, whereas for discussion on assignments, research projects, etc we need to decide about the hourly fee.

If it is deemed necessary to review your work (files), before the meeting, I will communicate my time allocation on the review process that needs to be reimbursed.
