the weight given to Likes in our video recommendation algorithm) while $Y$ is a vector of outcome measures such as different metrics of user experience (e.g., Experiments, Parameters and Models At Youtube, the relationships between system parameters and metrics often seem simple — straight-line models sometimes fit our data well.

They will need two different implementations, it is quite likely that you will end up with two sets of metrics (more people focused for mobile apps, more visit focused for sites). Media-Mix Modeling/Experimentation. Mobile content consumption, behavior along key metrics (time, bounces etc.) And again, a custom set of metrics.

2) MLOps became the expected norm in machine learning and data science projects. MLOps takes the modeling, algorithms, and data wrangling out of the experimental “one off” phase and moves the best models into deployment and sustained operational phase. And the goodness doesn’t stop there.

Nevertheless, A/B testing has challenges and blind spots, such as: the difficulty of identifying suitable metrics that give "works well" a measurable meaning. accounting for effects "orthogonal" to the randomization used in experimentation. accounting for effects "orthogonal" to the randomization used in experimentation.

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?

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”.
