volumes of data to build and enhance products, processes, and
systems. They conduct data mining and retrieval, and apply
statistical and mathematical analyses to identify trends, solve
analytical problems, optimize performance, and gather intelligence.
They visualize information using a range of tools (e.g., GIS, R),
develop scripts and algorithms, create explanatory and predictive
models, and conduct comparative analyses to address complex
problems. Additional Job InformationADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) serves as the world
leader in providing timely, relevant, accurate and actionable
geospatial intelligence (GEOINT). NGA's civilian, military and
contract personnel evaluate imagery, maps, charts, multiple layers

when' to revealing 'how and why.' Our work enables decision
advantage for our policymakers, warfighters, intelligence
professionals and first responders. Band 4 Data Scientists lead
efforts to develop and apply methods to identify, collect, process,
and analyze large volumes of data to build and enhance products,
processes, and systems. They apply the application of programming,
statistics and visualization to glean insights from large and
disparate data sources. Data Scientists understand and utilize
aspects of machine learning to solve and automate classification,
regression, cluster analysis, anomaly detection, association
discovery, and topic modeling tasks. These scientists understand
and utilize solutions with predictive patterns from data into
practical, intelligent applications that anyone can use. They
visualize information using a range of tools, develop scripts and
algorithms, create explanatory and predictive models and conduct
comparative analyses to address complex problems.Other duties may
