Anonymous: Hey again, Does CUPED in StatSig use OLS regression method only? I just wonder if CUPED can be used for binary metrics if we optimize for form completion rates, for example. I guess we will need logistic regression for that. Recently Khameleoon A/B testing tool representatives told me that their tool supports CUPED for binary metrics as well, so it seems possible.
Cooper Reid (Statsig): <@U057R37HM3K> I’m not familiar with OLS method, but as the bot stated we don’t document that, so it’s likely an alternative approach. More on our CUPED implementation here.
Timothy Chan (Statsig): Hi Sergei, we do use OLS and functionally, the method is the same as a logistic regression when you provide a binomial metric.
