Techniques to quantify effectiveness of site-wide actions

摘要

Modifications to the DiD technique are disclosed which provide an estimate of the effectiveness of a site-wide action where no control group exists within the data subsequent to implementation of the site-wide action. In some examples, a method may include identifying a treatment group based on a modified treatment period, selecting a control group from a control period prior to the modified treatment period, and performing a modified difference-in-differences (DiD) estimation for a metric based on the modified treatment period, the treatment group, the control period, and the control group. The modified treatment period may encompass an intervention of a site-wide action, and include a pre-intervention time period and a post-intervention time period.
