RELEVANCE OF STATISTICS IN AYURVEDA

Biostatistics focuses on the application of statistical methods to biological and health related research. Biostatistics plays a crucial role in research providing tools for data analysis & interpretation, ensuring the validity & reliability of experiments and research findings. The research & statistics go hand in hand. Ayurveda shastra is the research in itself. In our ancient texts, knowledge available concerning health and diseases has developed on Experiential, Observations & inferential methods. The students of Ayurveda, whether under graduate or post graduate, they should be aware that whatever the Research & Statistics we are learning, understanding now, is integral part of Ayurveda Shastra. In this book ‘Relevance of Statistics in Ayurveda’ the author Dr Manjula has made a distinctive effort to gather the references of concepts of Ayurveda which can be understood in terms of modern statistical tools. This book will be a good reference to understand the Ayurvedic concepts in terms of statistics and to enlighten every research scholar that statistics is not something which is conceived in 18th century, it was well known, understood, adopted and applied by our Acharya many centuries ago.
