A/B Testing Workshop

Are you curious about A/B Testing?

A/B testing is used in virtually all industries, science and academia. Instead of relying on intuition, successful businesses are increasingly shifting to make decisions based on data through experimentation and statistical testing. If you are interested in understanding how to utilize data-backed testing strategies to inform your decision-making, this course is for you. We will cover the foundations of A/B testing, and teach you, hands-on, how to plan and scope, execute, and analyze statistical tests in your own work environment.

Is this course for you?

  • You are a data analyst who wants to learn more about A/B Testing.
  • You are in a career where A/B Testing is a common skill set.

What will the course cover?

  • A/B Testing Theory
    Learn the principles and history of A/B testing and how leading companies like Google and Microsoft are utilizing experimentation to innovate. We’ll cover both basic questions like what A/B testing actually is (and what it is not), as well as more advanced topics like different statistical testing methodologies (frequentist vs. Bayesian statistics).
  • Statistical Foundations
    Whether or not you have a statistics background, this course will teach you everything you need to know about the mathematical concepts involved in A/B testing, including but not limited to power analysis, the scientific method (hypothesis testing), statistical significance.
  • Python
    We’ll be using Jupyter Notebooks to guide you through relevant problem sets to give you hands-on experience with anything from estimating required sample size for a test to calculating if a test was successful. It is helpful, but not necessary for you to have used Python in a Jupyter Notebook prior to this class. We will conduct a brief orientation to these tools prior to using them.

How will you learn the material?

Synchronous Online Instruction
Introduction to new topics will be covered by an instructor who is a working analytics professional. Topics are covered through a combination of lecture and live-coding.
Interactive Exercises
Apply your understanding of these new topics by doing. You’ll test your understanding of what’s required for an A/B Test by evaluating different scenarios.
Real-world Project
You will practice the skills you learn by exploring data to test hypotheses and draw conclusions.
Materials To Keep You Going
We’ll provide resources for you to continue learning on your own after class is over.
