Experiment Evaluation Task

An Experiment Evaluation Task is a study evaluation task of an experiment outcome.

• AKA: Experiment Analysis.
• Context:
  • Input: Experiment Results Dataset (of experiment interventions on experiment subjects); an Experiment Design.
  • It can range from being an Experiment with Comparator Evaluation to being an Experiment without Comparator Evaluation.
  • It can be performed by an Experiment Analysis System that applies an (experiment evaluation algorithm.
  • It can (typically) compare Experiment Outcomes to Experiment Groups.
• Example(s):
  • a Comparative Experiment Analysis.
  • a Randomized Experiment Analysis/Randomized Experiment Evaluation Task, such as:
    • a Subject-level Randomized Controlled Experiment Analysis.
    • a Crossover Cluster Randomized Controlled Experiment Analysis.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Experiment Design Task.
  • Observation Study Evaluation Task.
• See: Outcome Evaluation.

  • QUOTE: Much of the progress in the sciences comes from performing experiments. These may be of either an exploratory or a confirmatory nature. Experimental evidence can be contrasted with evidence obtained from other sources such as observational studies, anecdotal evidence, or “from authority”.
