This week’s throwback: How to make a better sandwich: An introduction to multivariate testing featuring Danielle Gunraj
This week, Danielle Gunraj, Ph.D. gives us an introduction to Multivariate Testing (MVT).
MVT can be intimidating to the uninitiated, but it doesn’t have to be! Danielle introduces testing concepts via a real-world scenario that we can all relate to: Dessert. Danielle covers what an MVT is, as well as: hypotheses, independent variables, dependent variables, results (of course), and design flaws.
If you need any more convincing, I have four words for you: Monte Cristo Bread Pudding.

CRO Therapy: Our Latest Experiment
Sometimes, Experimenters just need to blow off some steam and vent about problems they are having or simply have a casual chat with folks with sympathetic ears. If you’re in need of a session like this, join us on May 17 at 1 PM EST for our first (but hopefully not last) CRO Therapy session hosted on the "cro-therapy" channel of Experiment Nation’s Slack. The session will NOT be recorded so folks can speak freely (within reason of course). Hope to see some of you there!
