Power Analysis vs Effect Size Estimation
Developers should learn power analysis when designing A/B tests, user studies, or any data-driven experiments to ensure results are statistically valid and not due to chance meets developers should learn effect size estimation when working with data analysis, a/b testing, or machine learning to assess the practical importance of results beyond statistical significance. Here's our take.
