How to Simulate Fixed-Horizon Testing in Python
Simulate a fixed-horizon experiment by labeling data before the horizon as warmup and after as active/inactive, then summarize via CSV.
import csv
import io
def fixed_horizon_mock(data: list[tuple[float, float, float]], horizon: int) -> str:
"""Simulate fixed-horizon testing, then summarize with CSV output."""
output = io.StringIO()
writer = csv.writer(output)
writer.writerow(["day", "value", "signal", "status"])

This code implements a deterministic global control holdout group, randomly selecting a fraction of users to be excluded from feature rollouts for experiment validation.
import random
class GlobalControl:
def __init__(self, population_size, holdout_fraction=0.2, seed=42):
random.seed(seed)
self.population_size = population_size
self.holdout_fraction = holdout_fraction
self.holdout_size = int(population_size * holdout_fraction)

Deterministically map a user ID to an experiment bucket using MD5 hashing, ensuring stable and consistent assignment for A/B testing.
import hashlib
def hash_user_to_bucket(user_id: str, num_buckets: int = 10) -> int:
"""Deterministically map a user ID to an experiment bucket (0..num_buckets-1)."""
digest = hashlib.md5(user_id.encode("utf-8")).hexdigest()
return int(digest, 16) % num_buckets
