Sensors, 2020 In this letter, we investigate the idea of interference spreading and its effect on bit error rate (BER) performance in a cognitive radio network (CRN). The interference spreading phenomenon is caused because of the random allocation of subcarriers in an

Randomization in clinical studies [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2019 Randomized controlled trial is widely accepted as the best design for evaluating the efficacy of a new treatment because of the advantages of randomization (random allocation).

Indian Journal of Dental Research, 2023 Background: In randomised controlled trials (RCTs), the application of a test of significance to compare the baseline differences between the intervention groups is a common practice, though it has been condemned by many researchers.

Study designs: Part 5 – interventional studies (II)
Perspectives in Clinical Research, 2019 In the fifth piece of this series on research study designs, we continue the discussion on interventional studies (clinical trials), in which the investigator decides whether or not a particular participant receives the exposure (or intervention).

Proactive Random-Forest Autoscaler for Microservice Resource Allocation
IEEE Access, 2023 Cloud service providers have been shifting their workloads to microservices to take advantage of their modularity, flexibility, agility, and scalability. However, numerous obstacles remain to achieving the most out of microservice deployments, especially

Pricing Randomized Allocations
Proceedings of the Twenty-First Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, 2010 Randomized mechanisms, which map a set of bids to a probability distribution over outcomes rather than a single outcome, are an important but ill-understood area of computational mechanism design. We investigate the role of randomized outcomes (henceforth, "lotteries") in the context of a fundamental and archetypical multi-parameter mechanism design ...

Random allocation or allocation at random? Patients' perspectives of participation in a randomised controlled trial [PDF]
BMJ, 1998 To explore trial participants' understandings of randomisation.In this exploratory study, which used qualitative research methods, in-depth, semistructured interviews were carried out with 20 participants from the CLasP randomised controlled trial. Interviews were recorded on audio tape and fully transcribed. Data were analysed by comparing transcripts

Balanced allocation through random walk [PDF]
Information Processing Letters, 2018 We consider the allocation problem in which $m \leq (1-ε) dn $ items are to be allocated to $n$ bins with capacity $d$. The items $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_m$ arrive sequentially and when item $x_i$ arrives it is given two possible bin locations $p_i=h_1(x_i),q_i=h_2(x_i)$ via hash functions $h_1,h_2$.
