Full Abstract:
This seminar introduces the principles behind experimental research and asks how they can be used in an applied context. Experimental methods span a wide spectrum, from online A/B testing that underlies product development at many tech firms to randomized controlled trials in field research. The seminar will cover the basic logic connecting these — randomized allocation to groups and comparing outcomes — before turning to the challenges of real-world constraints: organizations who may have no prior exposure to a testing culture, ethical limits on what can be randomized, limited data infrastructure, and the practical challenge of securing buy-in from decision-makers. No prior background in statistics or experimental design is assumed. Attendees are encouraged to come to the workshop with a challenge they face in their work and apply some of the learnings during the seminar.
