Epi Info is a public domain database and statistics program for use by public health officials (doctors, nurses, epidemiologists, etc.) managing databases for public health activities, conducting outbreak investigations, and performing statistical applications. Epi Info allows the user to develop a questionnaire, customize the data entry process, enter data, and analyze the data. Statistics, graphs, tables, and maps can be produced with simple commands. Microcal origin is data analysis software equipped with the facilities of plotting nonlinear data as well as simple programming.

The training program would provide information on how to use – Epi Info 2002 and Microcal origin for analyzing the survey data. This training program is for professionals, researchers, practitioners and students who are involved in analyzing data. Those involved in quantitative research, will also benefit by learning new quantitative data analysis techniques and those who are involved in qualitative research, they will expand their skills in quantitative research techniques.

                                Session I: Theory 10:00 A.M. – 1:00 P.M.

                                Session II: Practical 2:00 P.M. – 3:30 P.M.

 

We are building foundations of data analysis and statistical interpretation using computer software. Each class provides an in-depth look at a particular topic or set of topics related to data analysis, data modeling, statistics and probability. Students will learn through practical applications, and are welcome and encouraged to use challenges from their own research problem as learning tools during class discussions. Valuable tips and insights needed for the analysis of research data with the help of computer software will be given.

 

Course Outline: This course gives an overview of various statistical tools used in descriptive and inferential statistics with the help of computer software. The students are geared to deal with research problems ranging from effective collection and presentation of data to efficient and accurate analysis and interpretation. Sampling techniques, design of experiments and hypothesis testing are important constituent of research methodology. These along with several other topics will be dealt in detail. The students will also have an orientation on data analysis with the help of computer software such as SPSS and EXCEL,   especially designed for statistical analysis.
