Abstract

The application of appropriate statistical techniques forms the backbone of any research endeavour in agriculture, fisheries, and allied sciences. In order to maintain and improve the quality of agricultural research, it is of paramount importance that sound and modern statistical methodologies are used in the collection and analysis of data and then in the interpretation of results. Experimental design is well acknowledged to be an essential part of any scientific inquiry. Valid inferences are made from data acquired from well-designed experiments. Effective experimental designs and adequate statistical approaches for data analysis are critical to gain a relevant interpretation of the inquiry. It is known that intensive basic research as well as extended field experiments to verify the results is required to launch a new product. This means that, in addition to enhancing and developing novel biological approaches, more effective experimental designs will be able to save money on research and development expenditures and speed up the development process. Therefore, it is critical for researchers, particularly those working in agriculture and fisheries, to be familiar with effective experimental designs and advanced statistical/ computational approaches. The goal of this programme is to enhance the analytical skills of agricultural and fishery researchers by allowing them to study and acquire efficient statistical designs and analytical procedures for multifactor experiments. The course is more practical-oriented, with a greater emphasis on interpreting the results. It employs a combination of lectures and exercises using R software. This Training Programme will also enable to build a bridge between this Institute and the subject matter specialists from NARES. I take this opportunity to thank all the faculty members who have devoted their time and energy in making this course meaningful and successful. Although every editorial care has been taken in preparing the teaching manual, errors and omissions are likely to occur. ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute or the authors are, however, in no way responsible for any liability arising out of the use of the contents of this reference manual. I am thankful to various ICAR Institutes and State Agricultural Universities for deputing participants in this Training Programme. I am indebted to the Indian Council of Agricultural Research for the financial assistance provided through the LBS Young Scientist Award project and for giving us an opportunity to organize this Training Programme. I am also grateful to Dr. A. Gopalakrishnan, Director, ICAR-CMFRI, Kochi for his guidance and continuous interest in this course and for making all necessary facilities available to me. I would like to make a special mention of Dr. T.V. Sathianandan, Head, Fishery Resources Assessment Division, for his guidance and support in bringing out this manual. I am also thankful to one and all for their untiring efforts and help in preparing this manual.
