A unique text that simplifies experimental business design and is dedicated to the R language 

Business Experiments with R offers a guide and explores the fundamentals of experiment business designs. The book fills a gap in the literature with its discussion of business statistics, addressing issues such as small samples, lack of normality, and data confounding.

The text contains the tools needed to design and analyze two-treatment experiments (i.e., A/B tests) to answer business questions. The author highlights the strategic and technical issues involved in designing experiments that will truly affect organizations. The book then builds on the foundation laid in Part I and expands on multivariable testing. Today’s companies use experiments to solve a broad range of problems, and Business Experiments with R is an essential resource for any business student.
