SAMPLE SIZE – The indispensable A/B test calculation that you’re not makingZack Notes
If you’re a marketer it’s very likely that you’ve run an A/B test. It’s also likely that you’ve never calculated the sample size for your tests, and instead, you run tests until they reach statistical significance. If this is the case, your strategy is statistically flawed. Conforming to sample size requires marketers to wait longer for test results, but choosing to ignore it will bear false positives and lead to bad decisions.
This deck was created for an email audience for there are valuable lessons for anyone who runs A/B tests.
A primer on how ab testing can be set-up for success in an e-commerce environment. Includes guidelines of how to set-up ab tests including hypotheses definition, sample size determination, statistical testing and avoiding bias that can come in any experiment's set-up
A primer on AB testing and it's application in ecommerce. A necessary tool in every product manager's arsenal. Covers the principles behind setting up a good test and the statistical tools required to analyze results.

About the Speakers
Ya Xu has been working in the domain of online A/B testing for over 4 years. She currently leads a team of engineers and data scientists building a world-class online A/B testing platform at LinkedIn. She also spearheads taking LinkedIn's A/B testing culture to the next level by evangelizing best practices and pushing for broad-based platform adoption. She holds a Ph.D. in Statistics from Stanford University.
Chuong (Tom) Do currently leads a team of data engineers and analysts in the Analytics team at Coursera, which is responsible for data infrastructure and quantitative analysis in support of the product and business. He completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science at Stanford University in 2009 and worked as a scientist in the personal genetics company 23andMe until 2012, where his research has collectively spanned the fields of machine learning, computational biology, and statistical genetics.
Spotify strives for team autonomy and independence. This means that no team should be blocked by others and they should be able to move as fast as they can. The autonomy has is a challenge for managing a centralised and coordinated experimentation infrastructure and analysis. This a talk about how we approach A/B testing in a fast moving company.
A/B Testing best practices from strategic vision to operational considerations to communication and finally expectations management. We need to adhere to fundamental project management, technology, statistical, experimental design, UX Design, Customer Relationship, business and data principles to ensure that the insights and hence the decision is as trustworthy as possible.

SXSW 2016 - Everything you think about A/B testing is wrongDan Chuparkoff
Everything you've learned about A/B Testing is based on the fundamentally flawed belief that there's one right answer. But the era of mass-market, one-right-answers is over. A/B Testing is our most valuable tool in the battle to create a more engaging web. But our strategy is broken. Don't worry, we can gain a better understanding of our users with a little data science. And we can reinvent A/B Testing... I will show you how.
At Civis Analytics, we specialize in Data Science. From here, we can clearly see that all people are not the same. So why are A/B Tests designed to search for a single solution? In this session I'll show you where A/B Testing is headed next. See you in Austin!
Learn how to use A/B testing to figure out the best product and marketing strategies for your business. Adopt a culture of testing everything from website copy to engagement emails to Facebook ads. Learn through a real SaaS product experiment.
This presentation by Anna Marie Clifton, Product Manager at Yammer, covers the important topics of when to use A/B testing, how to implement it and most importantly, how to measure the results.
The content is directed for software engineers who want to transition to product management, MBA's with finance/consulting background who wish to work high-tech companies as product managers and Project Managers, Marketers, and Designers who are seeking opportunities in product management.

User Research: The Superpower Behind Experimentation Programs | VWO WebinarsVWO
User research is often a side-lined activity within the experimentation space, but it’s crucial for keeping your testing velocity up and your win rates high.
Many experimentation and optimization teams fail to make this connection due to a lack of time, resources, knowledge or the siloed structure of their organization.
In this talk, Chris will take you through some practical examples of how user research can drive the quantity of ideas, their quality, and originality, which in turn leads to a much more successful overall experimentation program.

Fail and Win: Why a Failed Test Isn’t a Bad ThingOptimizely
Caleb Whitmore, CEO, Analytics Pros
Ryan Lillis, Strategic Optimization Consultant, Optimizely
Here's something you don't expect to hear at a CRO conference: most A/B tests don't produce a variation that's better than what you already have.
If all you're doing is running an A/B test, viewing select metrics, and giving a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down," you won't have a successful optimization program — even if you happen upon a few "winners."
But you don't have to run your optimization program this way.
A/B testing done right allows you to draw winning insights from "losing" tests that have the power to genuinely affect your business.
Caleb Whitmore, Founder and CEO of Analytics Pros, shows that you can achieve a 360-degree view of data that leverages your analytics engine as well as your testing platform to drive deep and genuine insights about the effects of your tests.
You'll learn a holistic approach to testing that goes way beyond "winners" and "losers."

Search Engine Marketing - Competitor and Keyword researchETMARK ACADEMY
Over 2 Trillion searches are made per day in Google search, which means there are more than 2 Trillion visits happening across the websites of the world wide web.
People search various questions, phrases or words. But some words and phrases are searched
more often than others.
For example, the words, ‘running shoes’ are searched more often than ‘best road running
shoes for men’
These words or phrases which people use to search on Google are called Keywords.
Some keywords are searched more often than others. Number of times a keyword is searched
for in a month is called keyword volume.
Some keywords have more relevant results than others. For the phrase “running shoes” we
get more than 80M relevant results, whereas for “best road running shoes for men” we get
only 8.
The former keyword ‘running shoes’ has way more competition from popular websites to
new and small blogs, whereas the latter keyword doesn’t have that much competition. This
search competition for a keyword is called search difficulty of a keyword or keyword
difficulty.
In other words, if the keyword difficulty is ‘low’ or ‘easy’, there won’t be any competition
and if you target such keywords on your site, you can easily rank on the front page of Google.
Some keywords are searched for, just to know or to learn some information about something,
that’s their search intention. For example, “What shoe size should I choose?” or “How to pick
the right shoe size?”
These keywords which are searched just to know about stuff are called informational
keywords. Typically people who are searching this type of keywords are top of a Conversion
funnel.
Conversion funnel is the journey that search visitors go through on their way to an email
subscription or a premium subscription to the services you offer or a purchase of products
you sell or recommend using your referral link.
For some buyers, research is the most important part when they have to buy a product.
Depending on that, their journey either widens or narrows down. These types of buyers are
Researchers and they spend more time with informational keywords.
Conversion is the action you want from your search visitors. Number of conversions that you
get for every 100 search visitors is called Conversion rate.
People who are at different stages of a conversion funnel use different types of keywords.

Use quantitative & qualitative data
Quantitative data
tells you
where to test
Qualitative data
gives you an idea of
what should be tested

Parts of a hypothesis
“If [Variable], then [Result], because [Rationale].”
• The element that is modified
• Isolate one variable for an A/B test
• Call to action, visual media, forms
18. #ScienceOfTesting
Parts of a hypothesis
“If [Variable], then [Result], because [Rationale].”
• The predicted outcome
• Use data to determine the size of effect
• More email sign-ups, clicks on a CTA
19. #ScienceOfTesting
Parts of a hypothesis
“If [Variable], then [Result], because [Rationale].”
• Demonstrate your customer knowledge
• What assumption will be proven wrong if
the experiment is a draw or loses?
20. #ScienceOfTesting
All hypotheses are not created equal
Weak Hypothesis
If the call-to-action is shorter, the
conversion rate will increase.
Strong Hypothesis
If the call-to-action text is changed to
“Complete My Order,” the conversion
rates in the checkout will increase,
because the copy is more specific and
personalized.
21. #ScienceOfTesting
All hypotheses are not created equal
Weak Hypothesis
If the checkout funnel is shortened to
fewer pages, the checkout completion
rate will increase.
Strong Hypothesis
If the navigation is removed from
checkout pages, the conversion rate
on each step will increase because our
website analytics shows portions of
our traffic drop out of the funnel by
clicking on these links.
29. #ScienceOfTesting
What are we looking for?
• How confident am I that the observed difference
from my experiment was not due to chance?
• 95% Statistical Significance = 5% probability that
the observed difference was due to chance.
32. #ScienceOfTesting
Once you reach significance:
• Variation wins: Launch the variation or update
your website.
• Original wins: Learn why hypothesis was
incorrect.
• In either case: Think about what to test next.

Step 2: Hypothesis
“If [Variable], then [Result], because [Rationale].”
