A/B testing isn’t simple just because data is big — the law of large numbers doesn’t take care of everything! Even with big data, A/B tests require thinking deeply and critically about whether or not the assumptions made match the data. Causal inference in statistics, social, and biomedical sciences.

We could do this but in our big data world, we would avoid materializing such an inefficient structure by reducing the regression to its sufficient statistics. When solved with an intercept term, regression coefficients for the binary predictors are maximum likelihood estimates for the experiment effects under assumption of additivity.
