    Authors: Singh, Gurudev;

    Reference No: CMA0578 Pages: 9 Published on: 1, January, 1983

    Abstract: Attempts to present a methodology for estimating production potentialities of an area based on analysis of micro production units. Aggregation model was developed to obtain population parameters such that contribution of changes in production technology could be estimated. The methodology also involves the adjustments for some variables such as size ... More

    Authors: Tewari, Devi D; Rao, V M;

    Reference No: CMA0697TEC Pages: 6 Published on: 1, January, 1990

    Abstract: Statistics consist of two parts: descriptive and inferential. Knowledge of some basic statistical concepts is a prerequisite for developing deep into the theory of statistical inference and econometric analysis. Concepts like population vs. sample, parameters vs. statistics, and frequency distribution vs. probability distribution are brought out. ... More
