Abstract

Technologies are disclosed for determining a runtime length for an A/B experiment, where the experiment evaluates the desirability of a potential change at a website. The experiment is run for an initial period of time and based upon initial data from the initial period of time, an equation is iteratively solved until a minimal amount of time is determined that that indicates when a statistically significant change will be observed in the data. The experiment is then run for the minimal amount of time.
