Snowy Owl STATs Attn: Markus Otz Johanniterstrasse 11 4056 Basel Switzerland

Because of annoying, but sophisticated systems that automatically grab, nowadays, data from the internet, no phone number is given here. Rather get into touch at least for the first time by e-mail. Thank you for your understanding.

Snowy Owl STATs' Terms and Conditions.

You may consider the following four basic levels of confidentiality:

1. You are fine with Snowy Owl STATs' terms and conditions.
2. In addition, you mask your variable names and black out all text not relevant for a data analysis or the definition of a designed experiment when you submit your information.
3. You insist on a contract that you prepare to be signed off by Snowy Owl STATs.
4. You combine ii and iii (top secret).

However, keep in mind that if you make use of option ii, it is your responsibility to make the proper classification among process factors, mixture factors, and response variables. Without that knowledge, it is impossible to carry out meaningful data analyses or to properly design experiments. At the same time, you will lose all of Snowy Owl STATs' knowledge and experience beyond statistical considerations (cf. About Snowy Owl STATs).

Snowy Owl STATs is committed to maintain high ethical standards (see, e.g., the American Statistical Association). Very briefly, try to avoid questions submitted to Snowy Owl STATs that already contain the desired answer; like in: "Can you help me to show, or even proof, that my product performs better than the others?" Rather, ask like: "Are there any statistically significant differences among the products, and if yes, what can be said about their magnitudes?" Your bonus will be a really independent answer, which will make you more comfortable when interacting with your business partners.

If your data cannot be represented by just one or two simple tables, the more suitable your data is structured and readable, the less time must be spent for its processing (e.g., by sOs). Nevertheless, you are welcome too, of course, letting sOs do that work for you. If you are interested in details, please see the downloadable Excel template or PDF printout given below. A supportive text on how to gather scientific data for optimal statistical analyses is under construction and will be issued as soon as possible.
