Workshops on Application of Statistical Tools are often well packed with methods and techniques of data analyses, but with limited understanding of the logic underlying the various techniques, methods and research design as a whole. There exists a lack of logical and conceptual knowledge that would be helpful and support us in the research
progression. Keeping this challenge in mind, the present workshop has been designed. The aim of this workshop is to provide the initial start towards the complex web of knowledge surrounding data analysis, when doing research.

After attending this workshop, you should be able to
1. To understand the need for statistical tools in research and data analysis
2. To identify different scales and variables in research
3. Enter the data in standard research format
4. Justify the sample size with statistical measures
5. Explore the types of analysis required
6. Perform statistical analysis on any data set
7. Appropriate use of statistical tools and to know how to apply it
8. Application of techniques in Mining and Mineral Industries
