I am Wilfred Nyakeri, a Statistician, Data Analyst and Research Consultant with experience helping individuals, researchers, businesses and organizations transform raw and complex data into meaningful insights.
My work focuses on using statistics, data analytics, research and business intelligence to understand problems, uncover patterns, answer important questions and support evidence-based decision-making.
I believe effective data analysis goes beyond knowing how to use analytical software. It requires understanding the problem, the data, the appropriate methodology and, most importantly, what the results actually mean.
From Questions to Evidence
I work across the complete analytical process, from understanding the initial problem and preparing data to conducting analysis, interpreting results and communicating findings.
My areas of expertise include:
I support both one-time projects and ongoing engagements, depending on the nature and scope of the work.
Understand. Analyze. Interpret. Communicate.
Every project begins with understanding the question behind the data. Before choosing a statistical test, software or model, I first establish what the analysis needs to accomplish.
Reliable analysis requires reliable data. I clean, validate, restructure and prepare datasets to ensure they are suitable for the required analytical methods.
I select analytical and statistical techniques based on the data, objectives and questions being investigated.
Statistical outputs alone are not enough. I translate results into clear findings that can be understood in the context of the original problem or research question.
Results are presented through appropriate reports, tables, visualizations, dashboards and recommendations so that the findings can be effectively communicated and applied.
Tools I Work With
I work with multiple statistical, programming, data management and business intelligence tools, allowing me to select technologies according to the requirements of each project.
My focus is not simply on using a particular tool, but on choosing the appropriate analytical approach and technology for the problem being solved.
From Real Data to Practical Evidence
My work and training emphasize practical analysis using real-world datasets, including large public health, healthcare, cancer, economic and population databases.
I have experience working with and applying analytical workflows to data sources such as:
National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey
National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey
Global economic, development and population indicators
Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results cancer data
The Cancer Genome Atlas
Public health, mortality and population data
Canadian population health and health determinants data
My work with real-world databases can involve the complete analytical workflow:
I use tools such as Stata, R, Python, SPSS, SAS, SQL, Power BI and Excel depending on the dataset, analytical requirements and intended outputs.
Working with real-world databases requires more than knowing statistical commands. It requires understanding data structures, variables, coding systems, study designs, documentation, appropriate statistical methods and the context in which the data were collected.
This practical approach allows me to support projects involving public health, healthcare, epidemiology, cancer research, economic and development indicators, population studies, business analytics and other data-intensive research.
It also forms an important part of my training approach: wherever appropriate, learners work with real datasets rather than artificial examples, helping them develop skills they can transfer to actual research and professional projects.
My services are available to
Professionals who need analytical expertise, consultation, reporting or support with data-driven projects.
Researchers requiring support with quantitative data, statistical analysis, methodology, interpretation or research reporting.
Businesses seeking to understand performance, customers, operations, trends and other information contained within their data.
Organizations requiring analytical support for research, monitoring, surveys, reporting, business intelligence or evidence-based decision-making.
Individuals seeking practical training and upskilling in statistics, data analytics, research and analytical tools.
My analytical work can support projects involving
Each engagement is approached according to its specific objectives, data and required outcomes.
Sharing Knowledge Through Practical Learning
Beyond consulting, I also provide professional training in data analytics, statistics, research and analytical software.
My training approach emphasizes practical application. Learners don't simply learn commands, they learn how to move through the analytical process from raw data to results, interpretation and reporting.
Training areas include:
My Professional Philosophy
Having access to powerful analytical software does not automatically produce meaningful insights. Good analysis starts with asking:
That philosophy guides how I approach both client projects and professional training.
