Our services
Three ways to work with Red Door Analytics — expert statistical consultancy, advanced training, and bespoke software development. Whether you need a study designed and analysed, a regulatory submission supported, or an estimator that doesn't exist off the shelf, the people who answer are the people who wrote the methods and the software.
Most engagements draw on more than one, each led by a named expert — see the case studies for the work. Looking for the open-source packages? Those live under Software.
Consultancy, training, and software development
Each service is led by a named expert, and most engagements draw on more than one. Working with Swedish or Nordic registers? See real-world evidence. Looking for our open-source packages (merlin, morgana, pendragon, multistate, survsim)? Those live under Software — this page is about bespoke work we do for you.
Applied biostatistics
Applied biostatistics for medical research teams — study design, analysis, and interpretation of clinical, epidemiological, and registry data, with the methods and software to do it right. From a single study through to embedded leadership across a programme.
- Design and analysis of clinical, epidemiological, and real-world evidence studies
- Custom methodology for non-standard analyses
- Statistical analysis plans, protocols, and reviewer-response support
- Methods reviews and second-opinion engagements
Advanced training courses
Internationally recognised short courses on survival analysis, joint modelling, multistate, longitudinal, and competing-risks methods — open-enrolment and bespoke in-house.
- Open-enrolment short courses through the year
- Bespoke in-house training scoped to your team
- The annual RDA Winter School in Stockholm
- Taught by the people who develop the methods
Bespoke software development
Custom statistical software for methods that don't exist off the shelf — bespoke estimators and likelihoods, and integration into reproducible analysis pipelines, with validated, qualified releases for regulated use where you need them.
- Bespoke estimation routines and custom likelihoods
- Integration into reproducible analysis pipelines
- Maintenance and support for deployed tools
- Qualified releases for regulated and HTA use (in preparation)
We build the software our own analyses run on
The merlin family is our own work, maintained in both ecosystems. The same engineering applies when we build for someone else's team — and it is why we can build methods that do not exist off the shelf rather than assembling ones that do.
What we have published
Twenty-five open-source packages in R and Stata — the merlin family and the specialist commands around it — fourteen of them published on SSC. Browse the index →
How it is engineered
merlin for R's last run with no skipped tests passed 26,827 assertions. Releases are built from a tagged, signed commit with a deterministic pipeline. Qualified releases for regulated use are in preparation, not yet open. Validated →
What a build covers
Bespoke estimation routines and custom likelihoods, integrated into reproducible analysis pipelines, with maintenance and support once deployed. For the R side of that work, see merlin for R →.
Engagements that fit the problem
Expert advisory
A focused conversation or short review. Right when you need a second opinion, a sanity check on an approach, or direction before committing to an analysis.
- A single named expert
- Fast turnaround
- Fixed-scope deliverable
Project engagement
Scoped to a defined deliverable — a study designed and analysed, a regulatory submission, a methods paper, or a bespoke tool. The most common shape of engagement, and where the bulk of our applied work happens.
- Named expert team
- Agreed scope and milestones
- Reproducible code and documentation
Ongoing support
Continuous access across multiple projects. Right for organisations running several submissions or studies a year, where the relationship compounds.
- Contracted expert hours
- Priority access
- Quarterly review
Built for medical research teams
One team, four kinds of partner — most engagements draw on more than one of our services.
Academic research groups
Methods support on a specific study, co-authored methodology and simulation studies, and getting the statistics right for grant-funded work — including register-based studies — from a single consult to an ongoing collaboration.
Pharma & HEOR
Survival extrapolation, indirect comparisons, and HTA-ready analyses — see merlin for HTA — with qualified, procurement-defensible releases in preparation for where you need them.
CROs
Methods capacity and second-opinion review for non-standard analyses, scoped to slot into your delivery.
HTA & market access
Defensible survival and multi-state modelling for submissions to NICE, CADTH, IQWiG, HAS and others — built by the people who wrote the methods. Start at merlin for HTA.
