### Overview

Get the effective public statistical analysis settings for an experiment. has_custom_analysis_settings compares only settings the caller can edit; protocol-required differences from company defaults do not make the plan custom. This endpoint requires the `product_analytics_experiments_read` permission.

OAuth apps require the `product_analytics_experiments_read` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#experiments) to access this endpoint.
