The Bespoke eStyle Statistical
Training (BeST) for Africa and South Asia is part of a capacity building
project to assist in upskilling and supporting scientists for farm and station research
and extension projects. Research scientists and students interested in agricultural
development may find this site useful as it contains online courses with
software that can be used for designing studies and analysing data.
BeST courses are found at www.yieldingresults.org and are
sectioned into modules which can be taken at your own pace. BeST is an
initiative funded by ACAIR to provide online support to agriculture researchers
around the world and is a flexible study option for researchers in the field. Courses
are aimed at supporting not only research scientists but are also is suitable
for new graduates as topics range from basic to advanced statistical methods;
focusing on experimental and survey design. BeST courses could be used within
universities to support postgraduates and staff requiring assistance with experimental
design and layout of experiments.
Dr Miranda Mortlock leads the Brisbane-based
BeST development team which consists of postdoctoral fellows, graduate students
and tutors. The team provides online support to their site users including
online feedback and data analysis advice. All team members are passionate about
statistical skills and teaching and aim to spark interest in the area of statistics.
