Towards optimal experimentation in online systems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

If the relationship of $X$ to $Y$ can be approximated as quadratic (or any polynomial), the objective and constraints as linear in $Y$, then there is a way to express the optimization as a quadratically constrained quadratic program (QCQP). Crucially, it takes into account the uncertainty inherent in our experiments.

Using random effects models in prediction problems

In the context of prediction problems, another benefit is that the models produce an estimate of the uncertainty in their predictions: the predictive posterior distribution. Often our data can be stored or visualized as a table like the one shown below. arXiv preprint arXiv:1506.04416 (2015). [6] bandit problems). 7] Nicholas A.

If both variances are positive then the optimal estimator of $y_{t+1}$ winds up being "exponential smoothing," where past data are forgotten at an exponential rate determined by the ratio of the two variances. There are also plotting functions that you can use to visualize the regression coefficients. Compare to Figure 2. Goldfarb, S.
