Description

Data Science Analysts investigate, develop, implement, and deploy a range of statistical and predictive solutions to benefit our clients in a variety of industries to help them answer their business challenges. In addition to the execution of various projects, this role also acts as an analytics consultant to both internal project teams and clients by translating data analysis and modeling into tactical and strategic insights that are clear, accurate, understandable, and applicable to decision making.   This is done using an array of tools, techniques, and frameworks that vary depending on the type of analysis being conducted. The four major types of analytics include: descriptive analytics (looks at data to examine, understand, and describe something that’s already happened), diagnostic analytics (goes deeper than descriptive analytics by seeking to understand the why behind what happened), predictive analytics (relies on historical data, past trends, and assumptions to answer questions about what will happen in the future), prescriptive analytics (aims to identify specific actions that an individual or organization should take to reach future targets).
