Hands-on approach in Regression modeling!
Need help in Applied Regression: model specification, estimation, and interpretation?
We emphasize practical orientation, careful choice of methodological tools, and use R, Stata, SPSS, and Minitab for real-time data analysis. Following are our considerations in the context of regression modeling:
Conceptualization and the emphasis on theory:
Differentiating between causality, correlation, and apprehending chance correlation; concepts of linear/ no-linear correlation; and suggesting and specifying functional and mathematical forms of regression. How to apprehend specification biases and how to detect specification biases.
Relevance of the type of regression:
How to determine the most suitable and closely related regression type, based upon the nature of the research hypothesis, and based upon the nature of the data in use. How to proceed with time series, cross-sectional, and panel data models.
Empiricism and emphasis on applied regression modeling:
From the initial specification of regression models to the consolidation of regression models require critical assessment and critical judgment about the significance and insignificance of potential regressors. It is being demonstrated how critical judgment is used for the evaluation and refinement of estimated regression models.
Domains of application:
Business administration, Economics, Sociology, Psychology, Political Science, Media studies, Education, and Medical Sciences.
Supplementing digitalization resources:
Sessions are supplemented by the use of digitized learning tools such as databases and packages namely Stata, Minitab, and SPSS. To further facilitate digitized learning in online tutoring, graphical/ digital tablets, the Microsoft Whiteboard, and screen sharing options are used, so that Student(s) get a similar feel of a live classroom.
Emphasis on interpreting regression results:
While evaluating existing literature and in order to construct regression models indigenously, it is imperative to assess theoretical and empirical relevance and goodness of results, and how to plan for further improvement in the estimated model.

Reviews and Recommendations
Superb! Really helpful and knowledgeable supervisor. I needed help to understand certain concepts such as Survival analysis, Cox regression, Logistic regression, and statistical inference in the context of medical research.
In addition to that, we had a series of discussions in form of the evaluation and critical review of Journal articles on diagnostic accuracy; a systematic review of the literature; the meta-analysis; and therapy outcomes. It was a great experience.
I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to get a deeper knowledge of research.
While working on my master thesis in sports physiotherapy, I got invaluable help from him in applied regression modeling, using SPSS. In choosing suitable regression models, validating, and evaluating models he was of great help and showed excellent pedagogic skills in making complex things simple. He was engaged, motivating and always made me feel that my understanding of the topic was his first priority. Very grateful for his help.
Now, during my MBA studies, it was my first priority to seek help from him again when I needed help with quantitative analysis and decision making, regression modeling, and how to report the findings. He showed outstanding commitment to his work, always structured in his teachings, and made sure that I understood both what was on the surface and beneath.
Professional and is highly recommended.

Superb! I reached out to him because I needed help with topics in Statistics, regression modeling, and the application of Stata in Sociology.
Even after the first class, I gained a much better understanding of quantitative reasoning. He is a tutor with amazing pedagogical skills and can explain complex things in a simple way, so you will understand everything. He is also a very calm and knowledgeable person.
He tailored our lessons to my needs and helped me a lot in improving my skills. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for professional help with the quantitative methods course.

Superb experience of learning, as I grasped lots of thoughtful know-how from your guidance! It really helped me understand the difficult stages of my research proposal and concepts of quantitative methods, such as Logistics and Poisson regression models. The way you explain things is clear, direct, and self-explanatory. I really like your style of guidance as it makes me comfortable especially at difficult stages of my thesis.
Michael
While preparing for my master’s dissertation, I was looking for someone who can help me with ARIMA and SARIMA modeling. He has excellent command and strong foresight in furnishing research designs, in assessing the academic worth of methodological choices, and how to advance a rather naive research notion into a well-structured hypothesis, and the model specification.
Dr. Haider
As a teacher and researcher, I found him very hardworking, efficient, diligent, resourceful, and full of energy. He has earned his respect among his teachers, peers, colleagues, students, friends, and family due to his cooperative behavior, thought-provoking arguments, resilience to embrace tough situations, good judgment, and decision making. He always digs deep into the concepts and makes them comprehensible to his students.
He is a good listener and an extraordinary speaker. He has researched and supervised very diverse topics which shows his untiring work and commitment to his students and institution. His analytical and quantitative skills are at par excellent. He has the great ability to motivate and inspire students and fellow researchers. His ability to lead a team is exceptional. His teammates and students consider him a tough workmaster but still gravitate around him. He has been very focused and meticulous about the subject matter. He takes his objectives very seriously and enjoys his work.

Professionally sound, has good pedagogic abilities, and is very knowledgeable! He helped me a lot with the theory of econometrics and in the application of econometrics in empirical finance. A resourceful person!
Kari
The Profess faculty has excellent command over quantitative research methodologies, and a commendable ability to evaluate and engage with technical matters such as statistical methods and econometrics. A dedicated professional!
Kyla
The inspirational and supportive tutor goes the extra mile using examples and illustrations to ensure I understood difficult and complex topics. Articulate personality and precision in interpersonal communication. I am glad to have learned from him.
Mark
To anyone struggling with Applied Econometrics, I would highly recommend seeking guidance from Profess faculty, as he explains things clearly and prepared the lessons carefully.
