Random Allocation in Controlled Clinical Trials: A Review
Journal of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2014 PURPOSE: An allocation strategy that allows for chance placement of participants to study groups is crucial to the experimental nature of randomised controlled trials. Following decades of the discovery of randomisation considerable erroneous opinion and misrepresentations of its concept both in principle and practice still exists.

Designing Random Allocation Mechanisms: Theory and Applications [PDF]
, 2013 Randomization is commonplace in everyday resource allocation. We generalize the theory of randomized assignment to accommodate multi-unit allocations and various real-world constraints, such as group-specific quotas ("controlled choice") in school choice

The random allocation process: two things you need to know [PDF]
Evidence-Based Spine-Care Journal, 2010 “The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.”—Robert R Coveyou The randomized controlled trial (RCT) has become the standard by which studies of therapy are judged.

Journal of MultiDisciplinary Evaluation, 2013 Background: This paper addresses one threat to the internal validity of a randomized controlled trial (RCT), selection bias. Many authors argue that random allocation is used to ensure baseline equality between study conditions in a given study and ...

Business Analytics for Flexible Resource Allocation Under Random Emergencies [PDF]
Management Sciences, 2014 In this paper, we describe both applied and analytical work in collaboration with a large multistate gas utility. The project addressed a major operational resource allocation challenge that is typical to the industry.

Resource Allocation in Cellular Systems for Applications with Random Parameters [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 In this paper, we conduct a study to optimize resource allocation for adaptive real-time and delay-tolerant applications in cellular systems. To represent the user applications via several devices and equipment, sigmoidal-like and logarithm utility functions are used.

Dynamic Resource Allocation of Random Access for MTC Devices
ETRI Journal, 2017 In a long term evolution‐advanced (LTE‐A) system, the traffic overload of machine type communication devices is a challenge because too many devices attempt to access a base station (BS) simultaneously in a short period of time.

Privacy amplification by random allocation
arXiv.orgWe consider the privacy guarantees of an algorithm in which a user's data is used in $k$ steps randomly and uniformly chosen from a sequence (or set) of $t$ differentially private steps. We demonstrate that the privacy guarantees of this sampling scheme can be upper bound by the privacy guarantees of the well-studied independent (or Poisson ...
