Balance algorithm for cluster randomized trials [PDF]

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2008
Within cluster randomized trials no algorithms exist to generate a full enumeration of a block randomization, balancing for covariates across treatment arms. Furthermore, often for practical reasons multiple blocks are required to fully randomize a study, which may not have been well balanced within blocks.We present a convenient and easy to use ...
