Statistically Sound and Rigorous Analysis
The MVP analysis will only do a simple test of significance for the difference in performance with and without a given change. This will tell us whether any difference really exists or is just noise, but it won't tell us what we really want to know: how much faster or slower did it get?!

The MVP analysis will only do a simple test of significance for the difference in performance with and without a given change. This will tell us whether any difference really exists or is just noise, but it won't tell us what we really want to know: how much faster or slower did it get?!
