Sokoine University of Agriculture Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Statistical Analysis (SUALISA) is wishing the SUA community a prosperous and happy commencement of the academic year 2020/2021 after a tough a long fight against COVID -19 Pandemic. SUALISA is also announcing that its offices will be full operational from the next month as it expects to receive a couple of statisticians from other universities, some as volunteers and others as field students. You are warmly welcomed.
At the same time SUALISA is announcing short courses to be held at SUALISA conference room between 9am and 3pm each day from 17th August up to 21st August 2020
Registration for the short course
The registration fee is 30,000/=Tshs, per a day/course. Registration would be made upon your arrival in a venue at iAGRI building. Contact Maria Celestine via the following address to confirm your participation.

Mobile: 0713-301033
Who should attend? Any scholar/researcher such as a postgraduate student /instructor/production manager/an enterpreneur/lab technician e.t.c is highly encouraged to attend. You are all welcomed to attend.
How you will benefit from the course(s): Each course will provide participants with practical skills to be able to effectively implement a real-life related problem needing statistical skills application.
Absract
Establishing causation has been a key research motive for most scientists. While it might be easy to establish causation in natural science, in social science it is quite very hard. Srictly speacking for event A to cause event B, three conditions need to be fulfilled.
First, event A must have occurred before event B(of-course be aware of posthoc fallacy), second event A must associate with event B. Third the asosociation between A and B must prevail even after other factors are considered. Unfortunately most researchers in social science normally establish condtion 2 and forget/becomes unware of conditions 1 and 3.
On contray the said condtions can easily be established in natural science through experimental designs which can rarely be realized in social science. In view of such scenarios, Statistical methods for Impact Ealuation which usually seek for an evidence of causation have been developed and motivated by research and development organizations such as the World Bank.
Please come and learn/ discuss such interesting issues in Statistics. Along with Statistical Methods for Impact Evaluation , other Statistics shall be discussed such as Multiple Linear Regression, Binary, logistics regessions and Principal component Analysis with its practical applications.
You are warmly welcomed !
