Experiment Design Analysis and Causal Methods Questions

Design and analysis of experiments and causal inference methods for when randomization is not possible. Candidates should know strategies to ensure randomization and evaluate experiment quality compute sample size and minimum detectable effect select and interpret primary and guardrail metrics and design appropriate test duration. Analysis skills include hypothesis testing p values confidence intervals effect size estimation variance estimation and variance reduction segmentation and interaction analysis and robust reporting of uncertainty. This topic covers observational and quasi experimental approaches such as propensity score matching difference in differences and regression discontinuity how to reason about confounding and selection bias and when to prefer a quasi experimental approach over a randomized test. Candidates should be able to translate causal conclusions into actionable guidance recommend follow up analyses and triangulate evidence across methods.
