simple A/B Test - using KNIME and Python code provided by ChatGPT


"In this code, we run the experiment 1000 times and store the results in a Pandas dataframe. We thencalculate the mean and standard deviation of the differences between the control and test results.Next, we use the scipy.stats.ttest_1samp function to perform a one-sample t-test on the differences. Thisfunction returns the t-value and p-value of the test, which we can use to determine whether the differenceis statistically significant.If the p-value is less than 0.05, then the difference is statistically significant and we can conclude that thetest value is likely to be an improvement over the control value. If the p-value is greater than 0.05, then thedifference is not statistically significant and we cannot make a reliable conclusion about the test value."https://chat.openai.com import knime.scripting.io as knio# This example script creates an output table containing randomly drawn integers using numpy and pandas.import numpy as npimport pandas as pdimport randomimport scipy.stats as statsdef run_experiment(control_value, test_value, num_samples): control_result = 0 test_result = 0 for i in range(num_samples): if random.random() < 0.5: control_result += control_value else: test_result += test_value return control_result, test_resultcontrol_value = 100test_value = 105num_samples = 10000num_experiments = 1000# Run the experiment 1000 times and store the results in a listresults = []for i in range(num_experiments): control_result, test_result = run_experiment(control_value, test_value, num_samples) results.append((control_result, test_result))# Create a Pandas dataframe from the resultsdf = pd.DataFrame(results, columns=['control_result', 'test_result'])# Calculate the difference between the control and test resultsdf['difference'] = df['test_result'] - df['control_result']# Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the differencesmean_difference = df['difference'].mean()std_difference = df['difference'].std()# Calculate the t-value and p-valuet, p = stats.ttest_1samp(df['difference'], 0)# Determine whether the difference is statistically significantif p < 0.05: test_result= "The difference is statistically significant."else: test_result= "The difference is not statistically significant."# Create a dataframe to store the resultsstat_df = pd.DataFrame(columns=['mean', 'std', 't-value', 'p-value', 'Test Result'])stat_df.loc[0] = [mean_difference, std_difference, t, p, test_result]# Print the dataframeprint(stat_df)knio.output_tables[0] = knio.Table.from_pandas(df)knio.output_tables[1] = knio.Table.from_pandas(stat_df) "To determine which result is better, you need to define a metric that you want to optimize for.
