Hypothesize Flashcards
From the MarSci Study Guide provided by Facebook
A strong hypothesis includes answers to what five questions?
Who, what, where, when, and why
The “Who” in a hypothesis refers to what?
The audience
The “What” in a hypothesis refers to what?
Behavior of that audience
The “Where” in a hypothesis refers to what?
Location (of action)
The “When” in a hypothesis refers to what?
Ad schedule
The “Why” in a hypothesis refers to what?
The rationale for the anticipated audience behavior or perspective
True or False: A test hypothesis is a proposed explanation for an observation you can test, usually in the form of an if/then statement.
True
What two kinds of variables must be identified to create a test hypothesis?
Dependent and Independent Variables
The alternative hypothesis says that the test hypothesis is correct or incorrect?
Correct
The null hypothesis says that the test hypothesis is correct or incorrect?
Incorrect
What measurement approach measures how channels work together to generate business outcomes?
Cross-channel reach reporting
What measurement approach is limited by things like metrics varying by channel, reporting being channeling, or reach not always correlating with brand and conversion business outcomes?
Cross-channel reach reporting
What measurement approach determines credit for each touchpoint on a consumer’s path to conversion?
Attribution
What measurement approach includes limitations like potentially being costly to access, cross-device limitations, or often only including digital channels?
Attribution
What measurement approach is a data-driven statistical analysis that quantifies the incremental sales impact and return on investment of marketing and non-marketing activities, measuring both offline and online sales across channels?
Marketing Mix Modeling
What measurement approach can be limited by things such as struggling to capture incremental sales where an increase is minimal, requiring collaboration between modelers and an econometric model, and not inferring causality (only correlation)?
Marketing Mix Modeling
What measurement approach tests multiple campaigns against one another to see which tactical approach produces the best results based on your KPIs?
A/B Test
What measurement approach may be limited by factors such as not including control groups or not always being appropriately powered with adequate conversion numbers in each group?
A/B Test
What measurement approach shows how channels work together to generate business outcomes?
Cross-channel reach reporting
What measurement approach shows how much credit each touchpoint in the consumer’s path to conversion should get?
Attribution
What measurement approach is a data-driven statistical analysis that qualifies the incremental sales impact and return on investment of marketing and non-marketing activities, measuring both offline and online sales across channels?
Marketing mix modeling
These limitations stand for what measurement approach?
- Metrics vary by channel
- Cross-channel reach reporting can be challenging because not all channels share touchpoint/reach data
- Limitations vary by specific solution. In general, limitations arise when metrics are not comparable or like-for-like data is not available
- Reach does not always correlate with brand and conversion business outcomes
Cross-channel reach reporting
These limitations stand for what measurement approach?
- Statistical attribution models can be costly to access in some cases, while others are limited to specific channels
- Cross-device limitations on cookie- or web-based systems
- Many tools do not have access to the full path to conversion (for example, in-app impression data is often not shared across publishers)
- Often only includes digital channels
Attribution
These limitations stand for what measurement approach?
- Can struggle to capture incremental sales where an increase is minimal
- Requires collaboration between modelers and an econometric model
- Doesn’t help with in-channel optimization
- Does not infer causality, only correlation
- Can be time-intensive to implement
Marketing mix modeling
These limitations stand for what measurement approach?
- Some A/B tests do not include control groups, only randomized test groups. In these cases, they do not measure causality or the incremental value of a strategy, and therefore are not recommended when strategy A has a different baseline conversion rate than strategy B (such as audience)
- Not all tests are appropriately powered with adequate conversion numbers in each group
A/B test
These limitations stand for what measurement approach?
- Tests may not be set up with sufficient statistical power (for example, budget is too low, test duration is too short, not enough conversions)
- Accurate power calculations can be challenging to carry out where there is a lack of historical data from similar activity on which to base the calculation
- Control groups may become contaminated by media running outside the experiment that targets the audience being measured
- Treatment variable may not always be isolated
- Tests may not run long enough to capture the full purchase cycle or longer-term impact of the strategy being measured
- Experiments may not always capture the full impact of a strategy (for example, offline data may not be available to upload)
- Not all experimental approaches manage outliers and variance equally
