dailyParticipation
numerator
object
denominator
object

Only when metricType is 'ratio'

inverse
boolean

Set to true for things like Bounce Rate, where you want the metric to decrease

quantileSettings
object

Controls the settings for quantile metrics (mandatory if metricType is "quantile")

cappingSettings
object

Controls how outliers are handled

windowSettings
object

Controls the conversion window for the metric

regressionAdjustmentSettings
object

Controls the regression adjustment (CUPED) settings for the metric

riskThresholdSuccess
number
deprecated

No longer used. Threshold for Risk to be considered low enough, as a proportion (e.g. put 0.0025 for 0.25%).
Must be a non-negative number and must not be higher than riskThresholdDanger.

Required range: x >= 0
riskThresholdDanger
number
deprecated

No longer used. Threshold for Risk to be considered too high, as a proportion (e.g. put 0.0125 for 1.25%).
Must be a non-negative number.

Required range: x >= 0
displayAsPercentage
boolean

If true and the metric is a ratio or dailyParticipation metric, variation means will be displayed as a percentage. Defaults to true for dailyParticipation metrics and false for ratio metrics.

minPercentChange
number

Minimum percent change to consider uplift significant, as a proportion (e.g. put 0.005 for 0.5%)

Required range: x >= 0
maxPercentChange
number

Maximum percent change to consider uplift significant, as a proportion (e.g. put 0.5 for 50%)

Required range: x >= 0
minSampleSize
number
Required range: x >= 0
targetMDE
number
Required range: x >= 0
