Choosing the right word
  • nounThe usual word for 'analyst' as a profession, as in a financial, market, or systems analyst. Use this in most contexts where English would say analyst.
    He's a financial analyst with a pretty good reputation for his analysis of economic trends.
  • 分析者ぶんせきしゃ
    nounLiterally 'a person who analyzes'; describes someone carrying out analysis in a general or descriptive sense rather than as a job title. Less common than アナリスト for the professional sense.
  • 分析官ぶんせきかん
    nounAn analyst in an official or governmental capacity, such as a post within an agency or bureau. Choose this when the analyst holds a designated official position; otherwise アナリスト is the safer choice.
  • 分析家ぶんせきか
    nounAn analyst viewed as a practitioner or specialist of analysis, with 家 suggesting a person of a certain trade. A less common way to say 'analyst'; アナリスト is usually what you want.

For a professional analyst (finance, etc.) use 「アナリスト」; the 分析- words refer to someone who analyzes, with 分析官 often implying an official post and 分析家/分析者 more neutral.
