S3E10 - Avoid AB Testing Statistics Mistakes with Max LI

A/B testing plays a critical role in decision-making - but so does AB Testing Statistics Mistakes. In data-driven companies, A/B tests not only prove positive impacts of product features (treatments) but also provide evidence to safely roll out neutral features that are not expected to move business metrics. When rolling out a neutral feature, we need to test if the treatment is non-inferior to control, and conventional A/B testing is not suitable in this case. In my talk, I present when conventional A/B testing would fail, what the non-inferiority test is, and how is non-inferiority test better when testing treatment is not worse than control. We've published this topic here https://bit.ly/3vmFsYp About the speaker: Max is a senior data scientist at Wish where he focuses on experimentation (A/B testing) and machine learning. He has been improving the A/B testing platform at Wish on various fronts, including infrastructure, statistical testing, usability, etc. His passion is to empower data-driven decision-making through the rigorous use of data. Max earned his Ph.D. in Statistical Informatics from the University of Arizona.

S3E6 - Pragmatists will grow the CRO industry - not purists - with Matt Scaysbrook

Our industry can be damning of those doing things ""imperfectly"" - but it seems not to draw the distinction between those doing things imperfectly through ignorance (who can be educated) and those doing things imperfectly through lack of a better option (who need to be helped to show the value to decision-makers).   This attitude has a negative impact on new entrants to the industry and sets completely the wrong tone for the next generation. The greater the participation in the industry, the stronger it will become - the wider that participation, the more ideas (and the more diverse those ideas) will come through. And that is only a good thing for us all longer-term.  About Matt: Matt Scaysbrook,  Founder & Director of Optimisation at WeTeachCRO Matt has been optimising online experiences across B2B & B2C industries for over 10 years. He has a great passion for guiding & educating businesses on the value of Conversion Rate Optimisation. He places the understanding of human behaviour at the heart of all of his work, knowing that that breaks all problems down to the lowest common denominator – us. Clients include Nando’s, GoDaddy and Sage.  Chapters --- 0:00 - Introduction 0:55 - The quality of our community is a function of quantity and diversity 2:53 - The purist 8:09 - The pragmatist 12:58 - So what? 16:36 - We need the best of both
