Why are product returns a problem? Large businesses like Amazon can swallow the cost of product returns, and generally account for it, but if you’re running a small business a single return can be very expensive. However, product returns can be a major problem for small and large businesses and it is helpful to identify when this is likely to occur.

Fast Data Science are pleased to announce we have updated the UK Company Details Google Sheets™ plugin. The plugin allows you to retrieve details such as company number, incorporation date, address, and directors’ details from Companies House (the UK company registry) and automatically populate them in columns of a Google Sheets™ spreadsheet.

While GenAI excels at tasks such as document summarisation, question answering, and content generation, it lacks the ability to provide reliable forecasts for future events.

For more details, a previous article on our blog explores in-depth the trade-offs of GenAI vs Traditional Machine Learning approaches.

You most commonly hear about A/B testing in the context of commercial websites, but A/B testing can be done in a number of different contexts, including offline marketing, and testing prices.

This free Bayesian A/B test calculator will help you compare two variants of your website, A and B, or two interventions, 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.
