Fundamentals and Misconceptions of CTR (Click-Through Rate) Modeling

CTR modeling predicts click probabilities despite inherent microscopic randomness, treating each impression as an i.i.d. Bernoulli event and framing the task as binary classification; because data are noisy and imbalanced, evaluation relies on AUC rather than accuracy, with theoretical upper bounds set by feature quality, and calibration is needed to align predicted values with observed frequencies.
