Assumption-lean covariate adjustment under covariate adaptive randomization when $p = o (n)$
协变量自适应随机化下 p=o(n) 的弱模型假设协变量调整
Adjusting for (baseline) covariates with working regression models becomes standard practice in the analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCT). When the dimension $p$ of the covariates is large relative to the sample size $n$, specifically $p = o (n)$, adjusting for covariates even in a linear working model by ordinary least squares can yield overly large bias, defeating the purpose of improving efficiency. This issue arises when no structural assumptions are imposed on…
