I got skills. Depends what exactly you need I guess.

Edit: I'd PM you, but there are three denny's in the system.

Good to see you back in good humor!

I have enough statistics to be dangerous. You need a pro.

"The book"?

Did you know that 87.166253% of all statistics claim a precision of results that is not justified by the method employed?

Statistics mean never having to say you are certain...

With a nod to my statistics professor at UCF, Dr. Pam.  A good friend, and one of the coolest people I have ever known.

Lies, damn lies and statistics.

Numbers will tell you what you want to hear but correctly posed question can give you usefully answer.
Still this is just statistical answer and not factual answer.

I hated statistics in grad school.  Hated it.

But you ought to be able to do anything you need to in Excel.

I'm pretty rusty so I'd likely be no help.
