the probing
.

Most of the users of statistics, as a decision making tool, feel themselves handicapped in selection of
an appropriate statistical tool, understanding the theoretical concept and interpretation of results in a
meaningful way. It is really difficult for a person who is not well versed with research methodology and
the core philosophy of statistics. The present workshop aims to expose the participants towards
simple and exhaustive ways of data analysis through interactive and practice based sessions along
with theoretical learning. Well designed and structured training sessions covering the topics outlined
in the programme will be organized. The topics have been so chosen that the issues of research
methods and data analysis may be understood by even those participants who do not have any initial
background of statistics. This workshop is designed to appeal the different learning styles, with an
emphasis on active interactive participation through lab sessions running along with theory sessions.
Participants will be provided with sample data set to analyse so that they may gain confidence and
expertise in conducting researches in their respective subject domains.
