Asymptotic properties of covariate-adaptive randomization
协变量自适应随机化的渐近性质
Balancing treatment allocation for influential covariates is critical in clinical trials. This has become increasingly important as more and more biomarkers are found to be associated with different diseases in translational research (genomics, proteomics and metabolomics). Stratified permuted block randomization and minimization methods [Pocock and Simon Biometrics 31 (1975) 103–115, etc.] are the two most popular approaches in practice. However, stratified permuted block…
