Résumé	A crossover A/B test is an experimental design in which the same participants or units are exposed to both treatment A and treatment B in sequence, with each serving as their own control. By eliminating between-subject variability, the design achieves higher statistical power than a standard parallel A/B test at the same sample size, but it requires careful handling of carryover effects and time-period confounds.	The AB design is the simplest single-subject experimental design, consisting of two sequential phases: a baseline phase (A) in which the target behavior is observed under natural conditions without intervention, followed by an intervention phase (B) in which the treatment or manipulation is introduced. Changes in the behavior's level, trend, or variability between phases are used to infer the effect of the intervention on the individual participant.
