Experiment design and modeling for long-term studies in ads

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

This is essentially the same as finding a truly useful objective to optimize. Recently, we presented some basic insights from our effort to measure and predict long-term effects at KDD 2015 [1]. We use this knowledge to define objective functions to optimize our ads system with a view towards the long-term.

Limitations Second order calibration, like ordinary calibration, is intended to be easy and useful, not comprehensive or optimal, and it shares some of ordinary calibration’s limitations.
