Towards optimal experimentation in online systems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

To find optimal values of two parameters experimentally, the obvious strategy would be to experiment with and update them in separate, sequential stages. Our experimentation platform supports this kind of grouped-experiments analysis, which allows us to see rough summaries of our designed experiments without much work.

Variance and significance in large-scale online services

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

by AMIR NAJMI Running live experiments on large-scale online services (LSOS) is an important aspect of data science. We must therefore maintain statistical rigor in quantifying experimental uncertainty. In this post we explore how and why we can be “ data-rich but information-poor ”. And an LSOS is awash in data, right?

LSOS experiments: how I learned to stop worrying and love the variability

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

Despite a very large number of experimental units, the experiments conducted by LSOS cannot presume statistical significance of all effects they deem practically significant. The result is that experimenters can’t afford to be sloppy about quantifying uncertainty. In statistics, such segments are often called “blocks” or “strata”.
