| | Someof the most fundamental functions in R, in my opinion, are those that deal with probability distributions. Whenever you compute a P-value you relyon a probability distribution, and there are many types out there. In this exercise I will cover four: Bernoulli, Binomial, Poisson, and Normal distributions. Let me begin with some theory first: Bernoulli...

| On a number of occasions, I've spoken to prospective clients and observed others making the following mistake. They've set up an A/B test or bandit system using relatively standard statistical methodology. Unfortunately, their sample size is prohibitively low. In order to
