# Experiment results report

To view a report:

1. In Yandex Metrica, go to **Varioqub → Experiments**.

1. Under the name of the experiment, click **View result**.

## Ways to use this report {#case}

With this report, you can see if the experimental variant has any statistically significant changes in the primary metrics compared to the control variant.

The experiment tests hypotheses:

- **H<sub>0</sub>**: The metric value for this variant doesn't differ from the control one.

- **H<sub>1</sub>**: The metric value for this variant differs from the control one.

The reports use the `Mann-Whitney U test` with the application of bucketing methods as the test statistic. If there is too little data, discreteness corrections are used.

When the test statistic of a hypothesis takes on the value of **H<sub>0</sub>**, the corresponding row isn't highlighted in the Yandex Metrica report.

Keep in mind that if your hypothesis has a value of **H<sub>0</sub>**, that doesn't mean that the metric doesn't change. The only conclusion that can be made with sufficient certainty is that the effect is smaller than the **MDE** (minimum detectable effect). You can detect smaller changes in metrics by increasing the audience size and duration of the experiment.

When the test statistic of a hypothesis takes on the value of **H<sub>1</sub>** with **P-value** ≤ 0.05, the corresponding row in the Yandex Metrica report is color-coded. The color intensity has three levels based on the **P-value**:

- **Light**: P-value ≤ 0.05, moderate statistical significance.
- **Medium**: P-value ≤ 0.01, high statistical significance.
- **Deep**: P-value ≤ 0.001, very high statistical significance.

Red indicates a negative metric change, while green indicates a positive one.

## Report structure and settings {#data}

The report data is grouped by the variants included in the experiment. The control variant is placed in the first row.

When creating a new experiment, you can select its primary and secondary metrics. During the course of the experiment, these metrics become available in the report:

#### **Primary metrics**

- **Time on site**: Information about how much time users spent on the site, taking into account the number of sessions.

- **Page depth**: Number of site page views per session.

- **Visual bounce rate**. Only the sessions of users selected for the experiment count toward the metrics. For example, if a user clicks a button and immediately leaves the page, the experiment doesn't trigger: such a session is considered a [bounce](https://yandex.com/support/metrica/en/general/glossary.html#glossary__failure), but not a visual bounce. Therefore, there tends to be fewer visual bounces than Yandex Metrica bounces.

- **Audience (count of unique users)**: Analysis of visitor characteristics. A unique visitor is a user who's assigned a unique site visitor ID ([i](*i)) for the first time.

- **Income of all goals per visit**:

    - Revenue for a specific goal.

    - Revenue for all goals.

    - Revenue for a specific step of a multi-step goal.

- **Conversion to goal**: Percentage of sessions that complete the selected goal out of the total number of sessions recorded for the variant.

- **Conversion to multiple goals**: Percentage of sessions that complete the specified number of selected goals out of the total number of sessions recorded for the variant.

- **Conversion per user to goal (Bayes)**: Ratio of unique users who achieved the goal to the total number of unique users. This calculation uses the [Bayesian method](https://yandex.com/support/varioqub/en/stat/bayes.md).

- **Conversion to step of multi-step goal**: Set a sequence of steps that the user takes toward a conversion. These steps can be pageviews or JavaScript events.

- **Goal income per visit**: When a session goal is completed, Yandex Metrica can record revenue for that goal. This helps you measure cost-efficiency for the goal.

- **Step income of multi-step goal per visit**: When a step of a multi-step goal per session is completed, Yandex Metrica can count revenue for that goal. This helps you measure cost-efficiency for the goal.


#### **E-commerce metrics**

To see these metrics in the report, [enable e-commerce](https://yandex.com/support/metrica/en/ecommerce/about.html).

- **Share of buying sessions**.
- **Average GMV per buying session**.
- **Average GMV per session**.

#### **Advertising metrics** {#advertising-metrics}

To see advertising metrics in the report, connect a Yandex Metrica tag to your ad. To learn more, see [Ad experiments](https://yandex.com/support/varioqub/en/ads.md).

The revenue data in Yandex Metrica may differ from the data shown in the advertising dashboard and the actual amounts, as Yandex Metrica and other services have different revenue calculation algorithms.

- **Average revenue per visit (YAN)**: Revenue generated by ad impressions per session.

- **Average revenue per user (YAN)**: Revenue generated by ad impressions per user.

In addition, the report includes:

- Auxiliary metrics. For example, for Conversion for goal, the report shows the numerator and the denominator: the number of sessions that complete the goal and the total number of sessions.

- The value of the metric itself. For example, Conversion for goal is the percentage of converted sessions from the total number of sessions.

- **Delta**: Difference between the metric values in the experimental and control version.

- **Delta (%)**: Delta expressed as a percentage from the control version's metric value.

- **Confidence interval (±2σ)**: Visualization with the confidence intervals of the experimental and control variants on a number line.

- **P-value**: Main quantifier of the test statistic result. It represents the probability of getting as extreme or more extreme results under the assumption that the metric value doesn't change (hypothesis **H<sub>0</sub>** in the example). To learn more, see [this article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-value).

    To accept a hypothesis, the **P-value** is compared with the significance level: **P-value** <= alpha. The default threshold is `alpha = 0.05`.

    Keep in mind that alpha sets the probability of type I errors (false positives). It's impractical to set a very low alpha value, as it increases the probability of type II errors (false negatives) and raises the **MDE**.

- **MDE (%)**: Minimum detectable effect. This is the smallest change in the metric that can be detected with the existing amount of data and with the probability of type I errors `alpha = 0.05` and type II errors `beta = 0.2`. The MDE is expressed as a percentage of a metric value in the control variant. You can lower the **MDE** by increasing the audience size and duration of the experiment.
