Introduction
The basic aim of this course is to highlight the advance applications of probabilistic approaches in the concern of statistical paradigm. Course explores the importance of risk factors and effective decision making strategies. This course also classified according to their metric requirements (i.e., metric level, commensurability across dimensions, and lexicographic ordering) in the system, are given. A brief introduction to process tracing techniques is followed by a review of results reported in process tracing studies of decision making.
Learning Outcomes
At the completion of course, the student will be able to
- Understand and explicit the variables relating to biological sciences.
- Colect, present, analyse the data relating to biological and health sciences and interpretation of results.
- Carry on research work in above mentioned fields.
