Statisticians

<ul><li>Analyze and interpret statistical data to identify significant differences in relationships among sources of information.</li><li>Determine whether statistical methods are appropriate, based on user needs or research questions of interest.</li><li>Identify relationships and trends in data, as well as any factors that could affect the results of research.</li><li>Present statistical and nonstatistical results, using charts, bullets, and graphs, in meetings or conferences to audiences such as clients, peers, and students.</li><li>Prepare data for processing by organizing information, checking for inaccuracies, and adjusting and weighting the raw data.</li><li>Report results of statistical analyses, including information in the form of graphs, charts, and tables.</li><li>Design research projects that apply valid scientific techniques and use information obtained from baselines or historical data to structure uncompromised and efficient analyses.</li><li>Process large amounts of data for statistical modeling and graphic analysis, using computers.</li><li>Adapt statistical methods to solve specific problems in many fields, such as economics, biology, and engineering.</li><li>Evaluate the statistical methods and procedures used to obtain data to ensure validity, applicability, efficiency, and accuracy.</li><li>Report results of statistical analyses in peer-reviewed papers and technical manuals.</li><li>Evaluate sources of information to determine any limitations, in terms of reliability or usability.</li><li>Plan data collection methods for specific projects and determine the types and sizes of sample groups to be used.</li><li>Develop and test experimental designs, sampling techniques, and analytical methods.</li><li>Supervise and provide instructions for workers collecting and tabulating data.</li><li>Examine theories, such as those of probability and inference, to discover mathematical bases for new or improved methods of obtaining and evaluating numerical data.</li><li>Prepare and structure data warehouses for storing data.</li><li>Develop software applications or programming to use for statistical modeling and graphic analysis.</li><li>Apply sampling techniques or use complete enumeration bases to determine and define groups to be surveyed.</li></ul>
