Ex-Ante Fair Random Allocation

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2016
When allocating indivisible objects, agents might have equal priority rights for some objects. A common practice is to break the ties using a lottery and randomize over deterministic allocation mechanisms. Such randomizations usually lead to unfairness and inefficiency ex-ante. We propose a concept of ex-ante fairness and show the existence of an agent-

Random allocations and probabilistic languages

1988
This paper introduces a unified framework for the analysis of a class of random allocation processes that include: (i) the birthday paradox; (ii) the coupon collector problem; (iii) least-recently-used (LRU) caching in memory management systems under the independent reference model; (iv) the move-to-front heuristic of self-organizing search.

Random Arc Allocation and Applications

2002
The paper considers a generalization of the well known random placement of balls into bins. Given n circular arcs of lengths ?1, ..., ?n we study the maximum number of overlapping arcs on a circle if the starting points of the arcs are chosen randomly. We give almost exact tail bounds on the maximum overlap of the arcs.

Randomization, Allocation, and Blinding

2012
This chapter introduces a number of procedural issues in study design, that is, issues more relating to operations than to medicine or science.The issues of randomization, allocation, and blinding, as well as rules that regulate unblinding, help ensure or maximize the interpretability of the data that are eventually provided by the trial.

The Home Office and Random Allocation Experiments

Evaluation Review, 2003
By examining the history of the random experiment in the Home Office in the United Kingdom, this article demonstrates that research is not an altogether rational process and that fashion, personality, and politics are at least as important as science and evidence when setting research and policy programs and determining methodologies. The article also
