And which changes to keep? This concise book shows you how to use Multiarmed Bandit algorithms to measure the real-world value of any modifications you make to your site. Author John Myles White shows you how this powerful class of algorithms can help you boost website traffic, convert visitors to customers, and increase many other measures of success. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the first developer-focused book on bandit algorithms, which were previously described only in research papers. You'll quickly learn the benefits of several simple algorithms--including the epsilon-Greedy, Softmax, and Upper Confidence Bound (UCB) algorithms--by working through code examples written in Python, which you can easily adapt for deployment on your own website. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn the basics of A\/B testing--and recognize when it's better to use bandit algorithms \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop a unit testing framework for debugging bandit algorithms \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet additional code examples written in Julia, Ruby, and JavaScript with supplemental online materials \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1449341330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781449341336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e O'Reilly Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 85\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.07h x 6.99w x 0.23d","brand":"John White","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986242339071,"sku":"9781449341336","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a7a6753c-a42a-4d5a-b520-78bad5cb611f.jpg?v=1683282192","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bandit-algorithms-for-website-optimization-john-myles-white-9781449341336","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
