During the current COVID-19 pandemic, virtually all companies have faced significant changes in demand.

An emerging trend in the private equity space is an enhanced focus on data science.
This focus has historically been more on the operations side (post-acquisition) where data scientists have been leveraged to help companies improve performance in many key areas including marketing, business intelligence, financial analysis, and human resources.

Is this just A/ B testing? A/B testing is a great…

Whether you are in the for-profit world or the not-for profit world, this is a very basic question that many people try to answer.
You could be working at a bank trying to figure out which offer is most appealing to customers, at an online retailer figuring out which ad display gets the most clicks, at the Department of Education trying to test the effect of smaller class sizes, at the city government office trying to see if the…
