Course Description

A/B testing is a common experimental design for human behavior research in industry and academia. A/B tests compare two variants to determine if the measurement shows different performance and if measurements vary in a meaningful way. By learning about A/B testing and presenting the results, you can make data-driven decisions and predictions.

Build an Understanding of A/B Design



In this course, you’ll learn what questions the A/B tests can address, the important considerations to be aware of in A/B tests, how to answer the questions at hand, and how to visualize the data. You’ll also learn how to determine the sample size needed in an experiment, conduct analyses appropriate for the data and hypothesis at hand, determine if the results can be regarded with confidence, and present the results to an audience regardless of statistical background.

Learn How to Analyze A/B Test Data



This course covers parametric and non-parametric A/B tests, such as t-tests, Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-Square test of independence, Fisher’s exact test, and Pearson and Spearman correlations. Additionally, you’ll explore a power analysis for each test.

Predict Outcomes Based on Data



As you progress, you’ll also learn to run linear and logistic regressions to predict outcomes based on data and previous findings.

Present Results to Any Audience with Visualizations



By the time you complete this course, you’ll have a thorough understanding of A/B tests, the analyses you can perform with them, and how to relay the results with data visualizations.

    Much of the latter portions of regressions went over my head. I wish I could have notes given to me so I didn't have to write down everything. Other than all that, this was a great course!

FAQs

What statistical methods for A/B testing does this course teach?

You will learn group comparison tests, association analysis, trend analysis, and regression-based prediction, along with how to choose the right test based on data assumptions and limitations.

Do I need prior experience with hypothesis testing to take this course?

Yes. Hypothesis Testing in R and Sampling in R are prerequisites. The course builds on these foundations to apply them specifically to A/B test scenarios.

Will I learn how to determine sample size for an A/B test?

Yes. The course teaches you how to calculate the sample size needed for an experiment so you can ensure your results are statistically reliable.

Does the course cover how to present A/B test results to non-technical audiences?

Yes. You will learn to visually present regression results and communicate findings to audiences regardless of their statistical background.

What types of jobs use A/B testing skills?

A/B testing is widely used by product managers, data analysts, UX researchers, and growth marketers in both tech companies and academic research settings.
