    Observational Studies

    Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
    There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
    Prospective Study
    Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One example of...
