Comprehensive research methodology and technical due diligence interview questions for evaluating technology, teams, and systems.

Research Methodology

Interview questions covering scientific research methods and experimental design:

  • Easy: Research problem definition, literature review, basic experimental design, hypothesis testing
  • Medium: Advanced experimental designs (between/within subjects, factorial), confounding variables, power analysis, meta-analysis, research bias, A/B testing, regression analysis, missing data, causal inference, reproducibility
  • Hard: Bayesian vs. Frequentist statistics, complex RCTs, structural equation modeling, multiple testing, time series analysis, mixed methods, ML for causal inference, survival analysis, network experiments, Bayesian hierarchical models
