About Ann Weaver

At Good-Natured Statistics, data analysis is more than a service. It is both a profession and a way of life.

I offer expert statistical consulting for businesses, researchers, and graduate students who need clear answers from complex data. My goal is to provide thoughtful, high-quality analysis that helps clients gain insight, make stronger decisions, and move forward with greater confidence. Whether your project is academic, professional, or research-based, I work with you to turn confusing information into meaningful results.

I am a biostatistician and the principal investigator of a 20-year study of free-ranging bottlenose dolphins in the waters off St. Petersburg, Florida.

My research examines dolphin behavior before, during, and after major coastal construction, explores remarkable cultural behaviors, and studies how dolphins recover from serious wounds, often shark bites, without medical intervention. This work continues to shape the way I think about data, patterns, resilience, and discovery.

In a very real sense, my consulting work helps support that research. On behalf of the only animals in the world known to come out of nature voluntarily to help protect people from drowning and sharks, I offer my sincere thanks. For more about that side of my work, visit my alter ego at DolphinsDigital.org.

I believe the best consulting relationships should benefit everyone involved. You receive exceptional analysis and support at a cost that is often far more affordable than expected. I gain the opportunity to build a positive, productive working relationship with you. And the dolphins benefit because this collaboration helps support research that promotes their conservation and encourages greater respect for these extraordinary animals.

It is a true win-win-win, and it is a model that has served clients and supported meaningful work for the past 12 years.

Professional, Friendly, and Discreet

Good-Natured Statistics was built on the idea that expert statistical support does not have to feel cold, intimidating, or impersonal. I regularly analyze my own data and understand firsthand how overwhelming research and complex datasets can become. That is why I offer support that is discreet, encouraging, and approachable while still delivering the high standard of professional analysis clients need.

No matter your field or topic, we work together to transform data into clarity, understanding, and practical direction.
