Bayesian Machine Learning in Python: A/B Testing

A/B testing is used everywhere, from marketing, retail, news feeds, online advertising, and much more. If you're a data scientist, and you want to tell the rest of the company, "logo A is better than logo B," you're going to need numbers and stats to prove it. That's where A/B testing comes in. In this course, you'll do traditional A/B testing in order to appreciate its complexity as you elevate towards the Bayesian machine learning way of doing things.

• Access 40 lectures & 3.5 hours of content 24/7
• Improve on traditional A/B testing w/ adaptive methods
• Learn about epsilon-greedy algorithm & improve upon it w/ a similar algorithm called UCB1
• Understand how to use a fully Bayesian approach to A/B testing

The Lazy Programmer is a data scientist, big data engineer, and full stack software engineer. For his master's thesis he worked on brain-computer interfaces using machine learning. These assist non-verbal and non-mobile persons to communicate with their family and caregivers.
He has worked in online advertising and digital media as both a data scientist and big data engineer, and built various high-throughput web services around said data. He has created new big data pipelines using Hadoop/Pig/MapReduce, and created machine learning models to predict click-through rate, news feed recommender systems using linear regression, Bayesian Bandits, and collaborative filtering and validated the results using A/B testing.
He has taught undergraduate and graduate students in data science, statistics, machine learning, algorithms, calculus, computer graphics, and physics for students attending universities such as Columbia University, NYU, Humber College, and The New School.
Multiple businesses have benefitted from his web programming expertise. He does all the backend (server), frontend (HTML/JS/CSS), and operations/deployment work. Some of the technologies he has used are: Python, Ruby/Rails, PHP, Bootstrap, jQuery (Javascript), Backbone, and Angular. For storage/databases he has used MySQL, Postgres, Redis, MongoDB, and more.
