FBe's recommendation was (paraphrasing a 35 min talk): Don't invent new metrics, use online versions of Reach and GRPs to measure success. It is possible to get good test and control groups (type of population, existing brand awareness, market penetration, competitive structures) for our experiments. Metrics are a problem.

When the FRB’s guidance was first introduced in 2011, modelers often employed traditional regression -based models for their business needs. This may be accomplished through a wide variety of tests, to develop a deeper introspection into how the model behaves.

Once we’ve answered that, we will then define and use metrics to understand the quality of human-labeled data, along with a measurement framework that we call Cross-replication Reliability or xRR. We will follow the example of Janson and Olsson , and start from this generalized definition of the metric, which they call iota.

With more features come more potential post hoc hypotheses about what is driving metrics of interest, and more opportunity for exploratory analysis. We must correct for multiple hypothesis tests.

Similarly, we could test the effectiveness of a search ad compared to showing only organic search results. This means it is possible to specify exactly in which geos an ad campaign will be served – and to observe the ad spend and the response metric at the geo level.

Although it’s not perfect, [Note: These are statistical approximations, of course!] Note: A test set of 19,500 such analogies was developed by Tomas Mikolov and his colleagues in their 2013 word2vec paper.
