Towards optimal experimentation in online systems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

If $Y$ at that point is (statistically and practically) significantly better than our current operating point, and that point is deemed acceptable, we update the system parameters to this better value. In isolation, the $x_1$-system is optimal: changing $x_1$ and leaving the $x_2$ at 0 will decrease system performance.

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. You can home in on an optimal value by specifying, say, 32 dimensions and varying this value by powers of 2. Example 11.6
