A/B & Multivariate Testing

Taguchi Method in Marketing

Orthogonal arrays aren’t just for manufacturing anymore. See how the Taguchi method streamlines marketing tests.

The Taguchi method reduces required test variants by using ______ arrays.

sequential

hierarchical

orthogonal

adjacency

Orthogonal arrays ensure factor levels are balanced and independent, enabling efficient estimation of effects.

In a Taguchi L9 (3^4) matrix, how many factors and levels are represented?

3 factors, 4 levels each

9 factors, 2 levels each

4 factors, 2 levels each

4 factors, 3 levels each

The L9 denotes nine runs covering four factors at three levels.

Taguchi analysis focuses on maximising the ______‑to‑noise ratio.

alpha

variance

signal

lift

A higher signal‑to‑noise ratio indicates a design setting is robust against uncontrollable variation.

A major benefit of Taguchi designs in digital marketing is ______.

detecting seasonality automatically

requiring far fewer visitors than full‑factorial tests

eliminating random error

removing the need for control groups

Because only a fraction of combinations are tested, traffic requirements drop substantially.

After estimating main effects via Taguchi, practitioners often run a ______ test to confirm the predicted best combo.

regression

chi‑square

time series

follow‑up A/B

A simpler A/B validates that the predicted winner truly beats the baseline in practice.

Taguchi designs assume that interaction effects between factors are ______.

measured separately first

negligible or captured implicitly

impossible

always dominant

If strong higher‑order interactions exist, Taguchi efficiency can suffer.

When mapping web page elements into a Taguchi matrix, each column corresponds to a factor and each row to a ______.

segmentation rule

CSS class

KPI

variant shown to users

Rows list the concrete combinations that will actually be displayed.

Calculating average performance for each level of a factor lets you identify its ______.

error term

covariance

main effect

prior

Taguchi’s additive model estimates how each setting contributes to the outcome.

Taguchi’s approach originated in which industry before being adapted to marketing experimentation?

finance

manufacturing quality engineering

telecommunications

agriculture

Genichi Taguchi developed the method to improve product robustness on factory floors.

Compared with traditional multivariate testing, Taguchi designs trade detailed interaction data for ______.

speed and traffic efficiency

real‑time personalisation

higher computational cost

greater model complexity

They provide actionable insights faster but with less granular understanding of how factors interact.
