Uniqueness

 

1. Domain-Specific Focus

  • Deals with different types of data, specially crop yields, soil properties, weather, livestock performance, pest incidence, and socio-economic survey.
  • Specialized in Statistical inference, risk assessment, reliability management, experimental design, field trials in agriculture which often requires advanced design to control variability in soil and weather

 

2. Multidisciplinary Research

  • Works together with Agronomy, Horticulture, Plant breeding, Soil science, Entomology, Management, Geography, Physical education, Education, and other Social Sciences to design experiments and analyze data.
  • Contributes to climate modelling, crop yield forecasting etc.

 

3. Focus on Field and Rural Development

  • Data from on-farm trials social surveys are analyzed, which needs handling of heterogeneity in data, missing data, and non-normality.

 

4. Capacity Building and Training

  • Train Scientists and researchers in designing suitable experiment and interpreting the result correctly.
  • Organise FDP/workshop on Statistical computing and Data analysis.
