ABOUT US

BSS currently supports and contributes to enhancing the quality of research by advising efficient protocols for experiments and surveys, sound statistical methods for data analysis and drawing statistical inferences, presentation of results, and conducting statistical review of scientific documents. Experimental designs often used for field trials include incomplete block designs, factorial designs. Statistical analysis approaches use capturing spatial variability and Bayesian framework.

OUR IMPACT

Goals

To enhance the reliability, efficiency, repeatability and interpretability of experimental results leading to high level of science quality.

Objectives

1. To provide biometric and statistics support to programs on planning of experiments and surveys, analysis of data, drawing statistical inferences, presentation of results, and statistical review of scientific documents and to devise specialized applications of advanced techniques required by the research programs. 2. To automate the scientific computing to minimize the cost 3. The upgrading the skills of the NARS scientists 4. To help in data curation, strorage and retrival for open access

Problems and Needs Analysis

Develop experiment and survey specific techniques and tools

Intervention Strategy(ies)

Suitable blocking methods, spatial and longitudinal data analysis, Bayesian approach

Impact Pathway

Efficient designs and sound data analysis leads to transferable technologies /adaptable genotypes and reduced breeding cycles
