• Produce data visualizations that provide insight into dataset structure and meaning.
• Collaborate with subject matters experts (SMEs) to identify important information in raw data
  and develop scripts that extract this information from a variety of data formats (e.g., SQL tables,
  structured metadata, network logs).
• Incorporate SME input into feature vectors suitable for analytic development and testing.
• Translate customer qualitative analysis process and goals into quantitative formulations that are coded into software prototypes.
• Develop and implement statistical, machine learning, and heuristic techniques to create descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics.
• Develop statistical tests to make data-driven recommendations and decisions.
• Develop experiments to collect data or models to simulate data when required data are unavailable.
• Develop feature vectors for input into machine learning algorithms.
• Identify the most appropriate algorithm for a given dataset and tune input and model parameters.
• Evaluate and validate the performance of analytics using standard techniques and metrics (e.g. cross validation, ROC curves, confusion matrices).
• Evaluate individual analytic efforts and make recommendations in the analytic development process.
• Recommend solutions that can scale to large datasets.
