Experiment analysis (CTR up, CVR flat)
You run an online experiment on an e-commerce product detail page that launches a new UI.
-
Primary observation:
CTR increases
, but
purchase conversion rate (CVR) does not change
.
Questions
-
Using statistical/experimental analysis, how would you investigate
why
CTR improved but CVR did not?
-
Follow-up: You want to analyze the effect by
user tier
(stratified analysis). One tier has
very small sample size
. What statistical approach would you use to still make a reasonable inference?
