Generalized Least Square (GLS) is used as estimation method is used to see whether temperature has impact on the number of diarrhea patients in Bangladesh and Optimization method is used to find maximum and minimum temperatures where diarrhea patients are found maximum and minimum respectively. Using results of the study, precautions and steps can be taken to minimize number of affected people due to diarrhea in the diarrhea-prone months. This thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor in Economics of East West University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. 2014-04-10T00:00:00Z
