Experimental Randomization and the Validity of Normal-Theory Inference
实验随机化与正态理论推断的有效性
This article examines how randomization helps to validate model-based probability statements. The asymptotic validity of normal-theory tests for means in multivariate linear models is established under general conditions. Numerical results are presented showing how randomization provides a limited degree of robustness in small experiments. The conditional relevance of randomization is also discussed. Consider the following additive model for a comparative experiment: Y = θ +…
