Experiment Characteristics

Sample size: planned number of clusters
no cluster
Sample size: planned number of observations
30,000 user
Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms
12 treatment groups, 1 control group. Probability of assignment to one of the 12 treatment groups is 5%. Probability of assignment to the control group is 20%. 20% probability of assignment to a non-experimental group, not forming part of the experiment.
Minimum detectable effect size for main outcomes (accounting for sample design and clustering)
