How do they match: Statisticians

  • Mathematical Statistician

  • Develop or apply mathematical or statistical theory and methods to collect, organize, interpret, and summarize numerical data to provide usable information. May specialize in fields such as biostatistics, agricultural statistics, business statistics, or economic statistics. Includes mathematical and survey statisticians.

  • Apply sampling techniques, or use complete enumeration bases to determine and define groups to be surveyed.
  • Design research projects that apply valid scientific techniques, and use information obtained from baselines or historical data to structure uncompromised and efficient analyses.
  • Develop and test experimental designs, sampling techniques, and analytical methods.
  • Examine theories, such as those of probability and inference, to discover mathematical bases for new or improved methods of obtaining and evaluating numerical data.
  • Report results of statistical analyses in peer-reviewed papers and technical manuals.

  • Apply mathematical principles or statistical approaches to solve problems in scientific or applied fields.
  • Evaluate technical data to determine effect on designs or plans.
