Data Analysis, an important branch in mathematical sciences, is very vital
today for all professionals, particularly for researchers, engineers, managers and analysts. The world is very dynamic today, especially with reference to abundance of information and multidisciplinary research. So it is a
huge burden on the decision maker to analyse information and take meaningful decisions.
