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. And we can keep repeating this approach, relying on intuition and luck. Why experiment with several parameters concurrently?

The trinity of errors in applying confidence intervals: An exploration using Statsmodels

O'Reilly on Data

We develop an ordinary least squares (OLS) linear regression model of equity returns using Statsmodels, a Python statistical package, to illustrate these three error types. CI theory was developed around 1937 by Jerzy Neyman, a mathematician and one of the principal architects of modern statistics. and an error term ??
