A Python library for statistical analysis of randomised control trials (A/B tests)

ExpAn: Experiment Analysis

A/B tests (a.k.a. Randomized Controlled Trials or Experiments) have been widely applied in different industries to optimize business processes and user experience. ExpAn (Experiment Analysis) is a Python library developed for the statistical analysis of such experiments and to standardise the data structures used.

The data structures and functionality of ExpAn are generic such that they can be used by both data scientists optimizing a user interface and biologists running wet-lab experiments. The library is also standalone and can be imported and used from within other projects and from the command line.

Major statistical functionalities include:

• feature check
• delta
• subgroup analysis
• trend

Installation

To install ExpAn, run this command in your terminal:

$ pip install expan

Usage

To use ExpAn in a project:

import expan

Some mock-up data:

from expan.core.experiment import Experiment
from tests.tests_core.test_data import generate_random_data

exp = Experiment('B', *generate_random_data())
exp.delta()
