Multiparameter experiments, however, generate richer data than standard A/B tests, and automated t-tests alone are insufficient to analyze them well. We use PrePost in most of our A/B tests, so we have pre-experiment metric measurements readily available that we can use as covariates in our models. Springer New York, 2006. [17]
