Blog post from bluesmoon / lognormal on how to analyse performance data. Includes some great points on geometric means and geometric standard deviation which better apply to lognormal distributions than arithmetic means / standard deviations. Very useful.

Simple formula to calculate statistical significance at 95% on AB / split tests. N = total clicks, D = diff between win & lose, if D² > N, it's statistically significant. Example, 14 clicks A, 22 clicks B, N=36, D=22-14=8, 8²=64>36, win. If 2D²>N, 99%.
