Example RQ Experiment
To better illustrate how to design, perform, and analyze RQ experiments, this section
guides you through an example experiment. The example experiment represents a
typical RQ experiment setup that you can use as a quick-start procedure to familiarize
yourself with the RQ workflow. Detailed steps in the RQ workflow are described in the
