| Abstract | Statistical Science is concerned with the twin aspect of theory of design of experiments and sample surveys and drawing valid inferences therefrom using various statistical techniques/methods. The art of drawing valid conclusions depends on how the data have been collected and analysed. Statistics has its universal application as an essential tool in various fields of teaching and research. Depending upon the objective of the study, one has to choose an appropriate statistical procedure to test the hypothesis. These applications are simple but involves a large number of repeated computations, which makes the task monotonous and time consuming. When the number of observations is large or when the researcher is interested in multifarious aspects or some time series study, such calculations are very tedious and time consuming on a desk calculator. In this context , it is essential that the manpower engaged in teaching and research is to be trained in the applications of various statistical techniques/methods through the use of computer. For this, there are so many statistical packages available in the market. The user needs a proper training to handle these packages and the creation of input data files in these packages is tough by an untrained user. An attempt has been made to cover computer aided analysis (using various statistical packages) related to Descriptive Statistics, Test of Significance, Design and Analysis of Experiment, Non parametric method , Forecasting through time-series models and some Financial analysis etc. A healthy group discussion (through practical exercises) can also be held on most commonly used statistical techniques. Computing platform will involve both the environment i.e. DOS as well as Windows 2000. |
