Adaptive Neyman Allocation
Jinglong Zhao
In the experimental design literature, Neyman allocation refers to the practice of allocating units into treated and control groups, potentially in unequal numbers proportional to…
Estimating Effects of Long-Term Treatments
Shan Huang, Chen Wang, Yuan Yuan +3
Estimating the effects of long-term treatments through A/B testing is challenging. Treatments, such as updates to product functionalities, user interface designs, and recommendatio…
Design and Analysis of Switchback Experiments
Iavor Bojinov, David Simchi-Levi, Jinglong Zhao
Switchback experiments, where a firm sequentially exposes an experimental unit to random treatments, are among the most prevalent designs used in the technology sector, with applic…
Blind Network Revenue Management and Bandits with Knapsacks under Limited Switches
David Simchi-Levi, Yunzong Xu, Jinglong Zhao
This paper studies the impact of limited switches on resource-constrained dynamic pricing with demand learning. We focus on the classical price-based blind network revenue manageme…
Synthetic Controls for Experimental Design
Alberto Abadie, Jinglong Zhao
This article studies experimental design in settings where the experimental units are large aggregate entities (e.g., markets), and only one or a small number of units can be expos…
The Competitive Ratio of Threshold Policies for Online Unit-density Knapsack Problems
Will Ma, David Simchi-Levi, Jinglong Zhao
We study a wholesale supply chain ordering problem. In this problem, the supplier has an initial stock, and faces an unpredictable stream of incoming orders, making real-time decis…
