Kursbeskrivning

In this course, you will dive into the world of A/B testing, gain a deep understanding of the practical use cases, and learn to design, run, and analyze these A/B tests in Python.

Discover How A/B Tests Work

Did you know that you are almost guaranteed to participate in an A/B test every time you browse the internet? From search engines and e-commerce sites to social networks and marketing campaigns — all businesses hire the best data analysts, scientists, and engineers to leverage the power of AB testing. Testing different variants can help optimize the customer experience, maximize profits, inform the next best design, and much more.

Learn About A/B Testing in Python

You’ll start by learning how to define the right metrics before learning how to estimate the appropriate sample size and duration to yield conclusive results. Throughout this course, you’ll use a range of Python packages to help with A/B testing, including statsmodels, scipy, and pingouin.

By the end of the course, you will be able to run the necessary checks that guarantee accurate results, master the art of p-values, and analyze the results of A/B tests with ease and confidence to guide the most critical business decisions.

Hypothesis Testing in Python

1

Overview of A/B Testing

In this chapter, you’ll learn the foundations of A/B testing. You’ll explore clear steps and use cases, learn the reasons and value of designing and running A/B tests, and discover the most commonly used metrics design and estimation frameworks.

What is A/B testing?

When an A/B test is not best

A/B testing steps

Randomization effects

Why run experiments?

Correlation visualization

Correlation or causation?

Metrics design and estimation

Experiment Design and Planning

In Chapter 2, you’ll cover the experiment design process. Starting with learning how to formulate strong A/B testing hypotheses, you’ll also cover statistical concepts such as power, error rates, and minimum detectable effects. You’ll finish the chapter by learning to estimate the appropriate sample size needed to yield conclusive results and tackle scenarios with multiple comparisons.

Data Processing, Sanity Checks, and Results Analysis

Here, you’ll discover a concrete workflow for cleaning, preprocessing, and exploring AB testing data, as well as learn the necessary sanity checks we need to follow to ensure valid results. You’ll explore a detailed explanation and example of analyzing difference in proportions A/B tests.

Practical Considerations and Making Decisions

In the final chapter, you’ll develop frameworks for analyzing differences in means and leveraging non-parametric tests when several assumptions aren't met. You’ll also learn how to apply the Delta method when analyzing ratio metrics and discover the best practices and some advanced topics to continue the A/B testing mastery journey.
