Glad to note that we have come up with a second statistical manual on Ayurveda research. This time, it is on more advanced forms of statistical analysis. We hope that researchers will take advantage of the information contained in this manual with interest. The presentation involves some mathematics but the concepts are described in simple terms and illustrated with examples from Ayurveda or from a more general medical context where needed.
