📚 ABOUT THE COURSE
This course is the first and best for professionals who are looking to establish and grow their experimentation mindset which can be applied across every aspect of their professional lives—this is beyond simple A/B testing, but doesn’t stop at more advanced experimentation techniques like multivariate and multi-armed bandit.
