Experiment design and modeling for long-term studies in ads

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

by HENNING HOHNHOLD, DEIRDRE O'BRIEN, and DIANE TANG In this post we discuss the challenges in measuring and modeling the long-term effect of ads on user behavior. We describe experiment designs which have proven effective for us and discuss the subtleties of trying to generalize the results via modeling.

Teaching AI to Smell by Using DataRobot

DataRobot

Traditionally, experimentation and observation was the only way to understand the physical-chemical properties of the molecule. It was introduced in 1980 but open-sourced in 2007, which created its widespread use. The best model for this dataset is a Keras-based neural network. With DataRobot this is a one-click step.

Towards optimal experimentation in online systems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

Experiments, Parameters and Models At Youtube, the relationships between system parameters and metrics often seem simple — straight-line models sometimes fit our data well. That is true generally, not just in these experiments — spreading measurements out is generally better, if the straight-line model is a priori correct.

The Lean Analytics Cycle: Metrics > Hypothesis > Experiment > Act

Occam's Razor

Sometimes, we escape the clutches of this sub optimal existence and do pick good metrics or engage in simple A/B testing. Let's listen in as Alistair discusses the lean analytics model… The Lean Analytics Cycle is a simple, four-step process that shows you how to improve a part of your business. Testing out a new feature.

Measuring Incrementality: Controlled Experiments to the Rescue!

Occam's Razor

How do you get over the frustration of having done attribution modeling and realizing that it is not even remotely the solution to your challenge of using multiple media channels? Then they isolated regions of the country (by city, zip, state, dma pick your fave) into test and control regions. Good lord I love this stuff!

To Balance or Not to Balance?

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

In an ideal world, experimentation through randomization of the treatment assignment allows the identification and consistent estimation of causal effects. A naïve way to solve this problem would be to compare the proportion of buyers between the exposed and unexposed groups, using a simple test for equality of means.
