Crucially, it takes into account the uncertainty inherent in our experiments. To find optimal values of two parameters experimentally, the obvious strategy would be to experiment with and update them in separate, sequential stages. In this section we’ll discuss how we approach these two kinds of uncertainty with QCQP.

Sometimes, we escape the clutches of this sub optimal existence and do pick good metrics or engage in simple A/B testing. Testing out a new feature. Identify, hypothesize, test, react. But at the same time, they had to have a real test of an actual feature. You don’t need a beautiful beast to go out and test.

Another reason to use ramp-up is to test if a website's infrastructure can handle deploying a new arm to all of its users. The website wants to make sure they have the infrastructure to handle the feature while testing if engagement increases enough to justify the infrastructure. We offer two examples where this may be the case.

Similarly, we could test the effectiveness of a search ad compared to showing only organic search results. A geo experiment is an experiment where the experimental units are defined by geographic regions. Structure of a geo experiment A typical geo experiment consists of two distinct time periods: pretest and test.

Because of this trifecta of errors, we need dynamic models that quantify the uncertainty inherent in our financial estimates and predictions. Practitioners in all social sciences, especially financial economics, use confidence intervals to quantify the uncertainty in their estimates and predictions.
