by HENNING HOHNHOLD, DEIRDRE O'BRIEN, and DIANE TANG In this post we discuss the challenges in measuring and modeling the long-term effect of ads on user behavior. We describe experiment designs which have proven effective for us and discuss the subtleties of trying to generalize the results via modeling.

Instead, we focus on the case where an experimenter has decided to run a full traffic ramp-up experiment and wants to use the data from all of the epochs in the analysis. When there are changing assignment weights and time-based confounders, this complication must be considered either in the analysis or the experimental design.

Ever since Hippocrates founded his school of medicine in ancient Greece some 2,500 years ago, writes Hannah Fry in her book Hello World: Being Human in the Age of Algorithms , what has been fundamental to healthcare (as she calls it “the fight to keep us healthy”) was observation, experimentation and the analysis of data. Certainly not!

Data analysis is a type of knowledge discovery that gains insights from data and drives business decisions. Professional data analysts must have a wealth of business knowledge in order to know from the data what has happened and what is about to happen. For super rookies, the first task is to understand what data analysis is.

NCA doesn’t require the assumption of a specific compartmental model for either drug or metabolite; it is instead assumption-free and therefore easily automated [1]. PharmaceUtical Modeling And Simulation (or PUMAS) is a suite of tools to perform quantitative analytics for pharmaceutical drug development [2]. Mean residence time.

Unlike experimentation in some other areas, LSOS experiments present a surprising challenge to statisticians — even though we operate in the realm of “big data”, the statistical uncertainty in our experiments can be substantial. We must therefore maintain statistical rigor in quantifying experimental uncertainty.

Despite a very large number of experimental units, the experiments conducted by LSOS cannot presume statistical significance of all effects they deem practically significant. The result is that experimenters can’t afford to be sloppy about quantifying uncertainty. In statistics, such segments are often called “blocks” or “strata”.
