Bentham and Hooker (1883) placed Gymnosperms between Dicots and Monocots in their classification (General Plantarum). The present acticle discusses the Gymnosperm Classification Proposed […]

The scientific investigations involve observations on variables. The observations made on these variables are obtained in the form of ‘data’. […]

Completely Randomized Design (CRD), Randomized Block Design (RBD), Latin Square Design (LSD) – Advantages and Disadvantages In the previous post, we have discussed the Principles of Experimental Designs. There we discussed the concept of Experimental design in statistics and their applications. In the present post, we will discuss different types […]

What is a statistical experiment? Ø An experiment is a plan for the collection and analysis of data. Ø “It is a controlled act through which data are collected according to some pre-determined objective”. Ø The observations obtained from a carefully planned and well-designed experiment in advance only gives valid inferences. […]
