Ab Test Analyzer

A/B Test Analyzer

Evaluate A/B test results with statistical rigor and generate actionable next steps.

Process

1. Collect test data - Variations, sample sizes, conversions, time period
2. Check validity - Runtime, sample size, peeking issues
3. Calculate significance - Z-score, p-value, confidence interval
4. Segment analysis - Device, source, new vs returning
5. Interpret results - Statistical vs practical significance
6. Generate hypotheses - "Why it worked" and next test ideas

Sample Size Calculator

n = 2 × (Zα/2 + Zβ)² × p(1-p) / δ²

Where:
- n = sample size per variation
- Zα/2 = 1.96 (95% confidence) or 2.58 (99%)
- Zβ = 0.84 (80% power) or 1.28 (90%)
- p = baseline conversion rate
- δ = minimum detectable effect (absolute)

Quick Reference (95% confidence, 80% power):

Significance Calculation

Z-score = (pB - pA) / √(SE²_A + SE²_B)
SE = √(p × (1-p) / n)

If |Z| > 1.96 → Significant at 95%
If |Z| > 2.58 → Significant at 99%

Validity Checklist

• Ran for minimum 14 days (day-of-week effects)
• Met required sample size before concluding
• No "peeking" at results during test (inflates false positives to 40%+)
• Traffic split was random and consistent
• No external factors (holidays, outages, campaigns)

### Interpretation
[Statistical significance vs practical significance discussion]

### "Why It Worked" Hypotheses
1. [Hypothesis about mechanism]
2. [Alternative explanation]

### Next Test Ideas
1. [Follow-up test based on learnings]
2. [Adjacent hypothesis to explore]

### Confidence Level: [HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW]

Example

Input: "Tested new headline. Control: 10,000 visitors, 250 conversions. Variant: 10,000 visitors, 300 conversions. Ran for 7 days."

Output:

## A/B Test Analysis

### Test Summary
- **Hypothesis**: New headline increases conversions
- **Runtime**: 7 days ⚠️
- **Sample Size**: Control 10,000 / Variant 10,000

### Results
| Metric | Control | Variant | Lift | Significant? |
|--------|---------|---------|------|--------------|
| Conversion Rate | 2.5% | 3.0% | +20% | ✅ Yes (95%) |

### Statistical Details
- Z-score: 2.28
- P-value: 0.023
- Confidence Interval: +2.3% to +37.7%
- Power achieved: 62% ⚠️

### Validity Assessment
- ❌ Minimum runtime NOT met (7 days < 14 days recommended)
- ⚠️ Sample size marginal for 20% MDE
- ❓ Cannot assess external confounds without more context

### Interpretation
Result is **statistically significant** but validity concerns exist:
1. 7-day runtime may miss day-of-week patterns
2. Wide confidence interval (+2% to +38%) indicates uncertainty
3. Recommend extending test 7 more days to confirm

### "Why It Worked" Hypotheses
1. New headline more clearly communicates value proposition
2. Specificity/numbers in headline increased credibility

### Next Test Ideas
1. Test headline variations that emphasize the winning element
2. Apply same messaging pattern to subheadline

### Confidence Level: MEDIUM
Statistical significance achieved, but short runtime reduces confidence.

Guidelines

• Never declare a winner without checking validity
• Distinguish statistical significance from practical significance
• If test ran <7 days, always recommend extending
• If sample size insufficient, calculate required runtime to reach it
• Ask for segment data if not provided - results often differ by device/source
