Accelerated Failure Time Models: When Cox Doesn't Fit
When proportional hazards fail, AFT models offer an interpretable alternative. Learn when to use accelerated failure time models, how to interpret time ratios, and how they compare to Cox regression.
Autocorrelation: Why Your Daily Metrics Aren't Independent
Learn why autocorrelation in product metrics invalidates standard tests, how to detect it, and what corrections to apply.
Bayesian A/B Testing: Posterior Probabilities for Ship Decisions
How to run Bayesian A/B tests that give you the probability a variant wins. Practical guide with Python code for conversion rates and revenue metrics.
Bayesian Hierarchical Models: Borrowing Strength Across Segments
How hierarchical Bayesian models share information across segments to improve estimates. Learn partial pooling, when it helps, and how to implement it.
Bayesian Methods for Product Decisions: When and Why to Go Bayesian
A comprehensive guide to Bayesian statistics for product analysts. Learn when Bayesian beats frequentist, how posterior probabilities work, and how to make better decisions.
Bayesian Regression: When Shrinkage Improves Predictions
Learn how Bayesian regression uses priors as regularization to improve predictions. Practical guide to shrinkage, uncertainty quantification, and when it beats OLS.
Bayesian Sample Size: Why It's Different and When It Helps
How to plan sample sizes for Bayesian experiments. Learn why Bayesian sample sizing differs from frequentist, and when it gives you smaller or more flexible experiments.
