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).

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).

Balanced allocation through random walk [PDF]
Information Processing Letters, 2018 We consider the allocation problem in which $m \leq (1- ) 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 $h_1,h_2$.

A game theoretic approach to distributed resource allocation for OFDMA-based relaying networks [PDF]
, 2008 In this paper, algorithms on distributed resource (spectrum and power) sharing for relay stations are investigated for downlink transmissions in an OFDMA-based relay-aided cell. Both system capacity and user fairness are considered. By grouping the relay
