Estimating causal effects using geo experiments

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

A geo experiment is an experiment where the experimental units are defined by geographic regions. Statistical power is traditionally given in terms of a probability function, but often a more intuitive way of describing power is by stating the expected precision of our estimates. They are non-overlapping geo-targetable regions.

1]" Statistics, as a discipline, was largely developed in a small data world. More people than ever are using statistical analysis packages and dashboards, explicitly or more often implicitly, to develop and test hypotheses. Data was expensive to gather, and therefore decisions to collect data were generally well-considered.
