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.

The Lean Analytics Cycle: Metrics > Hypothesis > Experiment > Act

Occam's Razor

Sometimes, we escape the clutches of this sub optimal existence and do pick good metrics or engage in simple A/B testing. You're choosing only one metric because you want to optimize it. They might deal with uncertainty, but they're not random. But it is not routine. So, how do we fix this problem?
