Segment Analysis in Experiments

Segment analysis reveals where lift concentrates—but it can also mislead. Check your knowledge on sound methods and common pitfalls.

Testing many segments increases false positives due to ______.

garbage collection

TLS handshakes

PNG compression

multiple comparisons

The more slices you test, the greater the chance of spurious significance.

A pre‑registered analysis plan reduces the risk of ______ after seeing results.

UI theming

p‑hacking

image dithering

DNS caching

Commit to segments and metrics ahead of time to avoid cherry‑picking.

Simpson’s paradox can make a variant look worse overall but better in every major ______.

file

pixel

segment

byte

Aggregation can reverse relationships when group sizes differ.

To compare segments fairly, ensure each arm maintains similar ______ mix.

image format

IP octet

device or channel

font

Unequal composition can confound differences attributed to the treatment.

When sample sizes are small, a ______ model can share strength across segments.

lossless

hierarchical

bitmap

deterministic CSS

Partial pooling stabilises noisy segment estimates.

Analysts often control the false discovery rate (FDR) using procedures like ______.

Benjamini–Hochberg

LZW

Huffman coding

CRC32

FDR methods bound the expected proportion of false positives among declared discoveries.

Reporting uplift per segment should include uncertainty, typically as ______ with intervals.

JPEG exif

RGB swatches

point estimates

CSS z‑index

Intervals communicate precision and prevent over‑confidence in small slices.

For long funnels, segment analysis should consider ______ attribution windows.

zero‑byte

hard‑coded

monochrome

appropriate

Too short a window can mis‑assign conversions across segments.

Randomisation units should align with segmentation; for geo tests a common choice is ______‑level buckets.

region

byte

pixel

port

Buckets at the same level avoid contamination across segment boundaries.

When segments interact with the treatment, analysts test for ______ effects explicitly.

render

exposure

interaction

rotation

Interaction terms identify whether the treatment effect differs by segment.
