"Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future."
Niels Bohr
To thrive, your business must be in the right place at the right time. You already employ professional accountants to track and grow your business; we suggest you similarly engage statisticians and applied researchers to find opportunities. Through careful experiments you can find which portions of your business are best staged for profitable growth (and how to grow them).
Win-Vector LLC is a consulting firm that specializes in effective custom research in statistics and operations research. We deliver actionable just-in-time research. Our products include training, reports and presentations that let you master and own important new ideas. We work effectively with companies that already have research teams and we also work effectively with companies that do not.
Win-Vector has deep experience in efficiently implementing profitable research plans in many industries. Our recent projects include:
- Developing profitable stock trading strategies for a hedge fund.
- Researching new economic models for planning medical tests for a pharmaceutical test kit designer.
- Inventing effective methods to analyze returns from online advertising.
- Designing customer satisfaction studies for a retail software company.
- Inventing novel information extraction methods for automated web-scale information acquisition.
Win-Vector’s principal is Dr. John Mount. In addition to a Ph.D. in computer science from Carnegie Mellon, John brings over 12 years of experience in applied research in biotech, Internet startups, price management and finance. Win-Vector maintains an extensive research library ranging from 1960s statistics papers through the current data mining conferences. We specialize not in esoterica, but in seeing the useful ideas and themes underlying advanced research.
Win-Vector would like to help you grow your business.
