Nov 27, 2021 at 1:17 comment added sparc_spread Yes, you are correct about $s$. But it can be calculated on any past data, the model is just predicting the input for calculating it. The question is which past data to use: training, test, or something else.
Nov 26, 2021 at 20:18 comment added Jonny Lomond $s$ here must be the standard deviation of your metric, which is a function of the completed model, yes? $s$ will depend on your model, so the only hope of getting a sample size before the model is finished is to decide to bound the out-of-sample sd of your metric.
Nov 25, 2021 at 5:04 comment added sparc_spread 1) Disparate input sets; 2) Train/test refers to the ML input. The significant std dev differentiations are in the past populations we've been analyzing for the power analysis. This std dev is itself highly variant... one month's worth of data can have a very different std dev from another's.
Nov 22, 2021 at 22:19 comment added B.Liu Please can you clarify: 1) Whether the ML model in your treatment and the old source in control take the same or a disjoint input dataset to produce $\hat{x}$ and $x$ respectively? 2) Whether the train/test data refers to the input to the ML model, and why there is a significantly different sample standard deviation between these two sets of data? In general though, for experiments with multiple layers input/output that has its own level of variability, it often helps to perform power calculations using some simulations rather than relying on formulas.
