A/B testing & experimentation
User bucketing, experiment metrics, statistical comparison, and rollout guardrails.
Bootstrap Confidence Interval in Python
Estimates a confidence interval for a statistic (like the mean) using bootstrap resampling in pure Python.
import random
def bootstrap_ci(data, statistic, n_bootstraps=1000, ci_level=0.95, seed=42):
random.seed(seed)
n = len(data)
boot_stats = []
for _ in range(n_bootstraps):
sample = [random.choice(data) for _ in range(n)]
boot_stats.append(statistic(sample))
boot_stats.sort()
l…Check Covariate Balance in Python
Compute standardized mean differences and KS tests to check covariate balance between treatment and control groups in Python.
import numpy as np
from scipy import stats
def balance_check(treatment, covariate):
"""Check covariate balance between treatment and control groups."""
treat_vals = covariate[treatment == 1]
control_vals = covariate[treatment == 0]
# Standardized mean difference
pooled_std = np.sqrt((np.var(t…Difference in Differences Mock in Python
Generate mock panel data with a known treatment effect and compute a difference-in-differences estimate using group and period means.
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
# Generate mock panel data: 2 groups (control=0, treatment=1) × 2 periods (pre=0, post=1)
rng = np.random.default_rng(42)
n_per_cell = 50
data = []
for group in [0, 1]:
for period in [0, 1]:
# True effect: treatment increases outcome by 5 in the post period
…Epsilon Greedy Bandit Mock in Python
A simple epsilon-greedy multi-armed bandit simulation that balances exploration and exploitation to estimate true means of several Bernoulli-like reward distributions.
import random
class Bandit:
def __init__(self, true_mean):
self.true_mean = true_mean
self.estimated_mean = 0.0
self.n_pulls = 0
def pull(self):
return random.gauss(self.true_mean, 1.0)
def update(self, reward):
self.n_pulls += 1
self.estimated_mean += (r…How to Run a Permutation Test in Python
Run a Monte Carlo permutation test to compute a p-value for comparing two group means without parametric assumptions.
import random
import statistics
def permutation_test(group_a, group_b, n_permutations=10000, seed=42):
random.seed(seed)
combined = group_a + group_b
observed_diff = abs(statistics.mean(group_a) - statistics.mean(group_b))
count = 0
n = len(group_a)
for _ in range(n_permutations):

A/B testing & experimentation — Python code examples
What you will find here
This page collects a/b testing & experimentation snippets — short, copy-ready Python you can paste into our free online IDE and run without installing anything. Each sample includes a plain-English explanation and the full source code.
Samples vs tutorials and challenges
Samples are quick reference — one concept per page. For step-by-step teaching, use our Python tutorials. To test yourself, try quizzes or coding challenges. Clean up style with the Python formatter.
