System and method for capping outliers during an experiment test

A computer-implemented system for capping outliers during a test, the system comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• at least one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform steps comprising:
• determining at least two groups of users each comprising a plurality of users, wherein the number of the plurality of the users is based on results data of historical experiments;
• obtaining metric data related to each of the plurality et users, wherein the metric data is based on current interactions of the plurality of users obtained for an experiment period;
• calculating a first value and a second value based on the metric data;
• identifying an occurrence of a trigger event, using the metric data, the first value, and the second value;
• distributing the metric data into capped data and uncapped data and determining a threshold for the capped data;
• calculating a third value for the capped data and the uncapped data;
• determining if the capped data threshold has changed based on the third value;
• and
• implementing at least one capping percentile value upon occurrence of the trigger event.
