Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system for evaluating a performance of a mobile application. During operation, the system obtains, for a statistical model used in a quasi-experimental design, a first predicted outcome produced from a first set of data that is collected from two substantially identical versions of a mobile application. Next, the system uses the first predicted outcome to assess a bias of the statistical model. The system then improves an accuracy of the statistical model by using the assessed bias to normalize a second predicted outcome of the statistical model.
