Abstract
This document describes the goals and objectives of Biometrics and Statistics Section
(BSS), highlights current status and the challenges in the changing agricultural landscape
to sustainably support the livelihood and the environment. BSS aims to provide biometric
and statistics support to programs on planning of experiments and surveys, analysis of
data, drawing statistical inferences, presentation of results, and statistical review of
scientific documents. It also shares the relevant techniques and tools with the NARS
scientists through training courses. BSS devises new methodologies for specialized
situations where not available. Another area of expertise is to develop statistical
computing modules and share them with ICARDA and NARS scientists. This effort leads
to enhance the reliability, efficiency, repeatability and interpretability of experimental
results leading to high level of science quality. It lists a number of key statistical issues
and ongoing activities. The clusters of activities mentioned in the preproposals for 2nd
Call of CRP DCLAS and Wheat have also been listed for easy harmonization of
ICARDA BSS activities.
