A/B test calculator (Bayesian)

This free A/B test calculator will help you compare two variants of your website, A and B, and tell you the probability that B is better. You can read more about A/B testing in our earlier blog post on the subject. You may also be interested in our Chi-Squared sample size calculator which will help you calculate the minimum sample size needed to run a Chi-Squared test, given an expected standardised effect size.

Assuming you have already run your A/B test, you will have recorded for both variants of your website, A and B, the following data:

  1. How many people have visited that variant

  2. How many people converted on that variant (this could be a click, a purchase, a contact request, or any other desirable outcome)

Simply enter the numbers that came out of your A/B test into the calculator below:

Enter your visitor and conversion data to calculate the probability that Variant B is better than Variant A.

Variant A Data

Variant B Data

How does it work?

The calculator relies on Bayesian simulations. It simulates 100,000 samples from a distribution and uses this to calculate the approximate probability that B beats A. The conversion rates for both variants are treated as random variables following a Beta distribution.

Python code

So that you can understand how the Bayesian A/B test probability is being calculated, the Python code will appear below when you run the Bayesian A/B test calculator.

First you need to install some dependencies:

pip install scipy numpy
# Python code will appear here.

R code

You can also run the code in R:

# R code will appear here.

Should AI companies be allowed to mine creative content to train models?

The effects of AI companies training on creative works When AI companies train models on text, video and images from creative industries, the end product is an AI model which can create near-human quality visual designs or copywriting. Many artists have argued the AI companies are exploiting creatives by profiting from their work, while the original creators do not receive any compensation. By flooding the market with low-cost content, AI has driven down rates for human artists, which is threatening creative careers.

Are we in an AI bubble?

None of the content of this article constitutes investment advice. Few would dispute that the global economy is currently in an AI boom. However, opinions are divided over whether this boom also constitutes a bubble.
