Statistical Consultant
Expert Consultation for Your Statistical Studies and Data
I’m Justin Belair – the international expert you’ve been looking for on data science and statistics. My statistical consulting and freelance work have helped scientists from all over the world understand their data.
I’ve successfully contributed to my academic collaborators publishing their papers in top peer-reviewed journals, and I’ve assisted biotechnology industry clients in answering important R&D questions to optimize Return-On-Investment of their innovative products.
Based in Montreal, Canada, I offer a fully bilingual (French and English) statistical consultant service. As I work remotely, I can collaborate virtually (via Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, etc,) with clients all over Canada, the USA, and the rest of the world.

Your Challenges = My Solutions
I recognize that statistical concepts and methodology can be overwhelming, causing stress for researchers. It need not be that way! Here are common challenges I’ve observed, and the solutions I provide.
Our introductory chat will explore the details of your project, identifying any questions or challenges. This will allow me to craft a customized proposal that includes the statistical tools that meet your project’s unique requirements.
Navigating project planning can be daunting when complex statistical considerations arise. However, I can assist you by guiding you through the selection of appropriate statistical methods and sample sizes. This will not only enhance the credibility of your project but also increase its chances of securing funding!
Working with an experienced professional like myself will reduce the likelihood of negative feedback from reviewers. Additionally, I will assist you in effectively addressing their inquiries and recommendations, increasing the chances of your research being published in higher Impact Factor (IF) journals. I’ve served as a paper referee myself, so I know the high standards your statistical analyses must meet.
Experimental design is a delicate balance between conceptual purity and pragmatism in the face of constraints. My wide-ranging experience in developing experiments for academics and R&D teams in the industry will help you find the right approach to answer your questions, balancing rigor and cost.
My experience working on big data in the industry has given me the skills to use automation and coding to efficiently and robustly manipulate large datasets. In addition, my deep knowledge of causal inference will provide adequate control of complicated confounding patterns in the data.
Sometimes, it just feels good to go over questions or concerns with a professional. Anything related to research methodology, data, or statistical tools can be discussed right now by booking a 1h consultation. This efficient service is greatly appreciated by many. If you’re not satisfied, you will be reimbursed, no questions asked.
