Need and Importance
Statistical analysis is an important tool to extract as much information as possible from the given data. Statistical computing methods enable to
answer quantitative biological questions from research data and help plan new experiments in a way that the amount of information generated from
each experiment is maximized. Widespread use of computers and specialized high end statistical software packages have helped and greatly improved
the ability of researchers to analyze and interpret voluminous data. Developments in computerized statistical analysis have enhanced the ability
of researchers to come up with better conclusions. This has helped in improving their statistical, computer-related and networking skills of the
researchers. For exploiting and sustaining these developed skills, availability of proper computing and infrastructure facilities to agricultural
research in National Agricultural Research System (NARS) is of utmost consequence for improving their skills. The statistical computing support
would be useful in improving the quality of agricultural research and make it globally competitive and acceptable by way of publications in
International refereed Journals. The present project, therefore, targets at providing technical support on the component of statistical computing
by applications of general purpose statistical software package that help in undertaking appropriate, sophisticated and computationally involved
statistical analysis of data keeping in mind also the accuracy and precision of analysis. It is expected to create a healthy statistical computing
environment for the benefit of the scientists in NARS by way of providing advanced, versatile, and innovative and state-of the art high end statistical
packages and enable them to draw meaningful and valid inferences from their research.
