Multi-armed bandits for pricing tests: protect margin with revenue per visitor as the metric, and know when a classic A/B test still wins.
The region of practical equivalence (ROPE) is a Bayesian rule for calling a lift too small to matter, even when it is technically real.
Credible interval vs confidence interval: the real difference between the Bayesian and frequentist reading of the same range, with a full numeric example.
Expected loss in Bayesian A/B testing measures how much a wrong call would cost, not just the odds of being right. Worked example inside.
Sequential testing A/B: how always-valid inference (mSPRT) lets you peek at results anytime without inflating false positives, and when it pays off.
Bayesian priors in A/B testing explained with real numbers: informative vs uninformative priors, how each reshapes the posterior, and when to use each.
Thompson sampling explained: how it draws from each arm's Beta posterior and why it converges faster than epsilon-greedy, with a worked example.
CUPED is a variance reduction technique that uses pre-experiment data to shorten A/B test duration without losing statistical rigor.
Learn what a contextual bandit is, how it differs from a simple multi-armed bandit, and when it earns its added complexity over A/B testing.
