Experimentation at Scale in the Tech Industry: Lessons I Have Learned
This talk will revisit experimentation fundamentals and explain how experiments with millions (billions) of observations coupled with small effect sizes mandates rethinking basic experimental design and analysis. Curran will share real examples from industry and recap the challenges that were faced.
About the Series: The HDSI Data Science in Industry Seminar series provides the opportunity for Harvard students, faculty, and postdoctoral fellows to hear directly from industry data scientists about the role data science plays in their organization, the methods and techniques being used, and their own career trajectory.
