Randomized Controlled Trials Under Influence: Covariate Factors and Graph-Based Network Interference
影响下的随机对照试验:协变量因素与图网络干扰
Randomized controlled trials are not only the golden standard in medicine and vaccine trials but have spread to many other disciplines like behavioral economics, making it an important interdisciplinary tool for scientists. When designing randomized controlled trials, how to assign participants to treatments becomes a key issue. In particular in the presence of covariate factors, the assignment can significantly influence statistical properties and thereby the quality of the…
