This work is a result of the experience of the authors in teaching and research work for more than 20 years. The wider scope and coverage of the book will help not only the students, researchers and professionals in the field of statistics but also several others in various allied disciplines. All efforts have been made to present the "inferential statistics", its meaning, intention and usefulness. This book reflects current methodological techniques used in interdisciplinary research, as illustrated with many relevant examples. Statistical tools have been presented in such a manner, with the help of real-life examples, that the fear factor about the otherwise complicated subject of statistics will vanish. In its eight chapters, theories followed by examples have been presented to the readers to find most suitable applications. This book is an ideal introduction to statistical learning in an academic context for students at both undergraduate and postgraduate level and will be a must-have for anyone doing a course in statistics. The book covers such topics as: Decision Analysis, Sampling Theory and Survey Methods, Statistical Estimation Theory, Test of Hypotheses, Simple Linear Regression and Correlation Analysis, Analysis of Variance (ANNOVA), Time Series, Index Numbers, Correlations and Partial Correlations, Time Series, and Multiple Regression Analysis.
