15. A/B Testing, Predictive Modeling, and Population Projection in R

In the last chapter, we learned how to set up our R environment and R data objects, and how to sample from distributions. This chapter covers R implementation of A/B testing, predictive modeling, and population projection, as described in Chapters 69. By the end of this chapter, you should be able to:

  • Run an A/B test in R.

  • Analyze the results of an A/B test in R.

  • Build simple clustering and predictive models in R.

  • Cross-validate those models in R.

  • Project populations from your web product.

  • Understand and plot the long run dynamics of populations.

In this section, we’ll go through the technical aspects of defining, building, and analyzing an A/B test. First, we’ll build an ...
