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)
