The Systat software was recently purchased for departmental use. As part of the implementation, an installation and training session was organized on 29.10.2025 at Sabeer Bhatia Lab. The objective of the programme was to enable participants to use Systat effectively for statistical analysis and research activities.

Faculty members from the department attended the training. The session covered both software installation and hands-on demonstration of statistical tools. The following topics were covered:

Introduction to Systat interface and features

Basic statistical analysis

Parametric tests (including t-test, ANOVA, correlation, regression, etc.)

Non-parametric tests (Chi-square, Mann–Whitney, Kruskal–Wallis, etc.)

Introduction to econometrics tools available in Systat

Data import, manipulation, and output interpretation

The training was interactive, with practical demonstrations and participant involvement.

Outcome

Participants gained:

Working knowledge of Systat software

Understanding of statistical tools and test selection

Ability to perform and interpret parametric and non-parametric statistical tests

Awareness of econometric features for advanced data analysis

The training session was successfully completed and well-received by attendees. The resource person provided practical guidance, which will support teaching, research, and project work within the department. Future advanced modules may be planned to cover deeper econometric modelling.
