Crucially, it takes into account the uncertainty inherent in our experiments. Multiparameter experiments, however, generate richer data than standard A/B tests, and automated t-tests alone are insufficient to analyze them well. In this section we’ll discuss how we approach these two kinds of uncertainty with QCQP.
