What Great Data Analysts Do and Why Every Organization Needs Them “Full-stack” data scientist means mastery of machine learning, statistics, and analytics. Today’s fashion in data science favors flashy sophistication with a dash of sci-fi, making AI and machine learning the darlings of the job market. Alternative challengers for the alpha spot come from statistics, thanks to a century-long reputation for rigor and mathematical superiority. What about analysts?Whereas excellence in statistics is about rigor and excellence in machine learning is about performance, excellence in analytics is all about speed. Analysts are your best bet for coming up with those hypotheses in the first place. As analysts mature, they’ll begin to get the hang of judging what’s important in addition to what’s interesting, allowing decision-makers to step away from the middleman role. Of the three breeds, analysts are the most likely heirs to the decision throne.

WorkWhich 6-7 NFC teams will make playoffs: Bucs? Packers? Rams? Why they might not make the playoffs: The Saints have been wildly inconsistent on offense and have struggled to score in the red zone, even when more players were healthy. Defensively, they\'ve had issues in stopping the run; they allowed 228 rushing yards the last time they played the Falcons, their Week 18 opponent. The Saints pulled away against the one-win Panthers last week, but their offensive struggles early in that game may not bode well for how New Orleans might fare against their final four teams. -- Katherine Terrell

Work2023 NFL betting: Loza's and Dopp's Week 15 props that pop Daniel: Reed has been on fire recently, showcasing his talents as both a rusher and a receiver. We\'re going to focus on the later of those, because Reed has seen 23 targets over the last three weeks. This week, he draws the Buccaneers who just let Drake London run wild for 172 yards on 10 receptions last week. Not only is Reed seeing more involvement recently, he\'ll likely see even more targets this week with Christian Watson trending towards missing this one and AJ Dillon\'s broken finger. There are more than a few ways for Reed to make an impact in this game. I was originally looking for rushing+receiving yards, but they aren\'t available as of this writing. Still, the Bucs are allowing the 10th most passing yards to WRs this year and Reed has proven himself in a major way recently and should continue to command a heavy role in this offense.

In an additional twist, the Bengals were the intercepting team on the only interception that has been thrown fewer yards since 2016. In 2018, they batted a Ryan Tannehill screen pass and intercepted it after it traveled 0.9 yards.
