Experiment Characteristics

Sample size: planned number of clusters
The expected number of website visitors is unknown. The sample size for the analysis on the intensive margin depends on the treatment effects on the extensive margin. If the treatments do not affect the extensive margin, I expect to observe 300,000 transactions. For more details, see pre-analysis plan.

Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms
If the treatments do not affect the extensive margin, I expect to observe 30,000 transactions per treatment group for the main analysis on the intensive margin. For more details, see pre-analysis plan.
Minimum detectable effect size for main outcomes (accounting for sample design and clustering)
