    Speaking as a pytorch user, many of the steps in your Readme example remind me of the usual setup except the pipeline.run() handoff which is replaced by eager evaluation in pytorch…

    Hi, author here. This was & is a fun project, and maybe it's useful to some of you! Let me know if you have questions/comments/ideas, or check out the ASCII video: https://asciinem…

    Whatever test you do, you would need to know the total number of visitors in each group, right? And unless I missed it the article doesn't state those numbers. Intuitively, the num…

    Should any of you care for a more philosophical treatment of the idea of "cause", then I can wholeheartedly recommend: Bertrand Russel, On The Notion Of Cause Proceedings of the Ar…

    I would argue that A/B testing is close to it's end for 99% of it's current business applications. Right now there is a very limitied range of AI products that aim to replace A/B t…
