Online controlled experiments (also known as A/B Testing) have been viewed as a golden standard for large data-driven companies since the last few decades. The most common A/B testing framework adopted by many companies use "average treatment effect" (ATE) as statistics. However, it remains a difficult problem for companies to improve the power of detecting ATE while controlling "false discovery rate" (FDR) at a predetermined level. One of the most popular FDR-control algorithms is Benjamini…
