Popularity is not just chosen to measure quality, but also to measure business value. The three most important aspects of collaborative business intelligence are as follows: Knowledge Discovery : When IT departments isolate a user’s experience to mere reports, it can be quite stifling.

Experiment design and modeling for long-term studies in ads

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

by HENNING HOHNHOLD, DEIRDRE O'BRIEN, and DIANE TANG In this post we discuss the challenges in measuring and modeling the long-term effect of ads on user behavior. Nevertheless, A/B testing has challenges and blind spots, such as: the difficulty of identifying suitable metrics that give "works well" a measurable meaning.

TIME – time points of measured pain score and plasma concentration (in hrs). As each dose is administered at TIME=0 (the other entries are times of concentration and pain measurement), we create an AMT column as follows: pain_df[:"AMT"] = ifelse.(pain_df.TIME.== and 3 to 8 hours. pain_df.TIME.== 0, pain_df.DOSE, missing).

Variance and significance in large-scale online services

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

Well, it turns out that depending on what it cares to measure, an LSOS might not have enough data. The practical consequence of this is that we can’t afford to be sloppy about measuring statistical significance and confidence intervals. Being dimensionless, it is a simple measure of the variability of a (non-negative) random variable.

On the Hunt for Patterns: from Hippocrates to Supercomputers

Ontotext

These are the so-called supercomputers, led by a smart legion of researchers and practitioners in the fields of data-driven knowledge discovery. The capacity and performance of supercomputers is measured with the so-called FLOPS (floating point operations per second). What are supercomputers and why do we need them?

Changing assignment weights with time-based confounders

For this reason we don’t report uncertainty measures or statistical significance in the results of the simulation. Ramp-up solution: measure epoch and condition on its effect If one wants to do full traffic ramp-up and use data from all epochs, they must use an adjusted estimator to get an unbiased estimate of the average reward in each arm.
