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.

Exercise 1: What is A/B testing?Exercise 2: When an A/B test is not best Exercise 3: A/B testing steps Exercise 4: Randomization effects Exercise 5: Why run experiments?Exercise 6: Correlation visualization Exercise 7: Correlation or causation?Exercise 8: Metrics design and estimation Exercise 9: Means and proportions Exercise 10: Ad impressions metrics

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.

Exercise 1: Hypothesis formulation and distributions Exercise 2: Strong hypothesis formulation Exercise 3: Plotting distributions Exercise 4: Central limit theorem for means Exercise 5: Experimental design: setting up testing parameters Exercise 6: Interpreting p-values Exercise 7: Error rates in the wild

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.
