This is an important lesson, but I was hoping for an implementation of stopping rules. If you're looking to actually stop your N-armed bandit trials properly, look at the S+ package SeqTrial. It implements the stopping rule framework described in KittelsonEmerson99 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11315020).

Thanks! Stopping rules is probably something I'll look at in a later post.

Also, building in stopping rules is something Optimizely should consider.
