Applied Statistics in Safety and Disaster management with Jamovi.
Applied Statistics in Safety and Disaster Management with Jamovi
(NEP 2020 Aligned Certificate Programme)
RPRIT is launching a pioneering programme on Applied Statistics in Safety and Disaster Management, a domain with no dedicated training institute in India. Over the last two years, RPRIT has developed indigenous statistical models covering descriptive analysis, dimension reduction, and classification, based on extensive multi-state research. As a registered vendor of Tata Power, RPRIT is now working toward a Pan-India safety and disaster analytics model to support evidence-based safety management and disaster preparedness.
Target Audience: Non-statistical students (e.g., professionals or students in safety engineering, emergency management, public health, or related fields with little to no prior statistics background).
Programme Duration: 6 Months (2 Hours per Week) Total Contact Hours: 48 Hours | Credits: 4 (NEP 2020 Compliant) Teaching Approach: Use of real industrial data and carefully designed hypothetical datasets for learning and practice.
Programme Objectives: The programme aims to develop applied statistical competence for safety and disaster management through experiential, data-driven learning. It emphasizes interpretation, decision support, and indigenous model development rather than rote computation.
Programme Learning Outcomes
1. Apply statistical methods to safety and disaster-related datasets.
2. Identify core risk dimensions and classify vulnerable groups.
3. Interpret statistical outputs for safety planning and disaster preparedness.
4. Develop evidence-based recommendations for industry and policy.
Statistical software: Excel and Jamovi.
