Once created and running, there are a few differences on how experiment results are calculated. Notice that assignment numbers will refer to the entity but subentity numbers will also be available. Metrics will be calculated by using the subentity as the denominator.
Once created and running, there are a few differences on how experiment results are calculated. Notice that assignment numbers will refer to the entity but subentity numbers will also be available. Metrics will be calculated by using the subentity as the denominator.
