dc.description.abstract	This thesis analyses the impacts of temperature on diarrheal disease in Bangladesh using district wise monthly average temperature and diarrhea (affected) data from Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), Bangladesh Economic Review and World Food Programme (WFP) (1998-2010). 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.	en_US
