Apply alternative machine learning methods (e.g., logistic regression, ensemble modelling, or other quantitative methods) to build models and to conduct analyses. Analyze and interpret data reports, draw conclusions, and make recommendations answering specific business needs.

3. Document solutions and present results in a clear, comprehensive manner to a nontechnical audience, and draft formal documentation and reports using statistical terminology.

4. Enhance existing methodology. Review the statistics and machine-learning literature to generate new ideas, concepts, and models and to improve existing methods of obtaining and evaluating data. Escalate identified risks and sensitive areas in existing methodologies and processes.
