The Entry of Randomized Assignment into the Social Sciences

open access: yesJournal of Causal Inference, 2019
Although the concept of randomized assignment in order to control for extraneous confounding factors reaches back hundreds of years, the first empirical use appears to have been in an 1835 trial of homeopathic medicine.

Quasi-complete Latin squares: construction and randomization

open access: yes, 1984
A general method for constructing quasi-complete Latin squares based on groups is given. This method leads to a relatively straightforward way of counting the number of inequivalent quasi-complete Latin squares of side at most 9.

A roadmap to using randomization in clinical trials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Background Randomization is the foundation of any clinical trial involving treatment comparison. It helps mitigate selection bias, promotes similarity of treatment groups with respect to important known and unknown confounders, and contributes to the ...

Random triangles in random graphs

open access: yesRandom Structures & Algorithms, 2021
AbstractIn a recent paper, Oliver Riordan shows that for and p up to and slightly larger than the threshold for a Kr‐factor, the hypergraph formed by the copies of Kr in G(n, p) contains a copy of the binomial random hypergraph with . For r = 3, he gives a slightly weaker result where the density in the random hypergraph is reduced by a constant ...

Schnorr Randomness

open access: yesElectronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science, 2002
Abstract. Schnorr randomness is a notion of algorithmic randomness for real numbers closely related to Martin-Löf randomness. After its initial development in the 1970s the notion received considerably less attention than Martin-Löf randomness, but recently interest has increased in a range of randomness concepts.

Chemotherapy for Spinal Cord Intramedullary Pediatric Low‐Grade Glioma—A Systematic Literature Review

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric intramedullary low‐grade gliomas (PIMLGGs) are rare neoplasms that present unique clinical and management challenges. Although surgery remains the primary tool for tissue diagnosis and decompression, complete gross‐total resection is frequently unfeasible due to the infiltrative nature of these lesions.

Evidence‐Based Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Pediatric Febrile Neutropenia: Resource‐Sensitive Recommendations for the Asian Continent

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a frequent and serious complication in children receiving cancer therapy. Standardizing FN management across Asia is challenging due to variable healthcare infrastructure, diagnostic capacity, and infection patterns; however, it could improve resource use and patient outcomes.
