Effect Size Estimation for Duration Recommendation in Online Experiments: Leveraging Hierarchical Models and Objective Utility Approaches

no code implementations20 Dec 2023 Yu Liu, Runzhe Wan, James McQueen, Doug Hains, Jinxiang Gu, Rui Song

The selection of the assumed effect size (AES) critically determines the duration of an experiment, and hence its accuracy and efficiency.

A Bayesian Model for Online Activity Sample Sizes

no code implementations23 Nov 2021 Thomas Richardson, Yu Liu, James McQueen, Doug Hains

Given observations on the number of unique users participating in an initial period, we present a simple but novel Bayesian method for predicting the number of additional individuals who will participate during a subsequent period.

Nearly Isometric Embedding by Relaxation

no code implementations NeurIPS 2016 James McQueen, Marina Meila, Dominique Joncas

Many manifold learning algorithms aim to create embeddings with low or no distortion (i. e. isometric).
