Weight hogger

[tczupryna]

I ran a test to check out how genetify will work for me and ran into a bit of a problem that may prevent me from being able to use it more extensively. Scenario:

1 test with original and 'empty' variables. 'empty' is just hiding the section. One goal worth 144. My expected conversion on the page is around 1%.

What I saw was that the first variable to record a goal (original) started hogging all of the impressions right away. It took quite some time to give the second variable enough impressions to see that the results are essentially equal. The original is still getting the majority of the impressions even though the avg. of empty is about the same.

Please visit http://www.naymz.com and pull up the console to see the results of 'booster'.

My initial thought was that it would be nice to set a minimum number of impressions before weight is considered. Ideally this could be set on the test level somehow.

I'm sure I explained this clear as mud. Let me know what I'm missing.

I've had the same issue with some tests. Try modifying the weight function to make it optimize slower. Look at genetify.weight. https://github.com/gregdingle/genetify/blob/master/genetify/genetify.js#L1233
