Optimize the performance of your systems with practical experiments used by engineers in the world’s most competitive industries.
In Experimentation for Engineers: From A/B testing to Bayesian optimization you will learn how to:
Experimentation for Engineers: From A/B testing to Bayesian optimization is a toolbox of techniques for evaluating new features and fine-tuning parameters. You’ll start with a deep dive into methods like A/B testing, and then graduate to advanced techniques used to measure performance in industries such as finance and social media. Learn how to evaluate the changes you make to your system and ensure that your testing doesn’t undermine revenue or other business metrics. By the time you’re done, you’ll be able to seamlessly deploy experiments in production while avoiding common pitfalls.
In Experimentation for Engineers: From A/B testing to Bayesian optimization you will learn how to:
- Design, run, and analyze an A/B test
- Break the "feedback loops" caused by periodic retraining of ML models
- Increase experimentation rate with multi-armed bandits
- Tune multiple parameters experimentally with Bayesian optimization
- Clearly define business metrics used for decision-making
- Identify and avoid the common pitfalls of experimentation

about the technology
Does my software really work? Did my changes make things better or worse? Should I trade features for performance? Experimentation is the only way to answer questions like these. This unique book reveals sophisticated experimentation practices developed and proven in the world’s most competitive industries that will help you enhance machine learning systems, software applications, and quantitative trading solutions.about the book
Experimentation for Engineers: From A/B testing to Bayesian optimization delivers a toolbox of processes for optimizing software systems. You’ll start by learning the limits of A/B testing, and then graduate to advanced experimentation strategies that take advantage of machine learning and probabilistic methods. The skills you’ll master in this practical guide will help you minimize the costs of experimentation and quickly reveal which approaches and features deliver the best business results.what's inside
- Design, run, and analyze an A/B test
- Break the “feedback loops” caused by periodic retraining of ML models
- Increase experimentation rate with multi-armed bandits
- Tune multiple parameters experimentally with Bayesian optimization
about the reader
For ML and software engineers looking to extract the most value from their systems. Examples in Python and NumPy.Putting an ‘improved’ version of a system into production can be really risky. This book focuses you on what is important!
A must-have for anyone setting up experiments, from A/B tests to contextual bandits and Bayesian optimization.
Shows a non-mathematical programmer exactly what they need to write powerful mathematically-based testing algorithms.
Gives you the tools you need to get the most out of your experiments.
