Asymptotic Properties of Random Restricted Partitions
We study two types of probability measures on the set of integer partitions of n with at most m parts. The first one chooses the partition with a chance related to its largest part only. We obtain the limiting distributions of all of the parts together and that of the largest part as n tending to infinity for m fixed or tending to infinity with m=o(n1 ...

Randomized benchmarking with restricted gate sets [PDF]
Standard randomized benchmarking protocols entail sampling from a unitary 2 design, which is not always practical. In this article we examine randomized benchmarking protocols based on subgroups of the Clifford group that are not unitary 2 designs. We introduce a general method for analyzing such protocols and subsequently apply it to two subgroups ...

Restricted Isometry Property of Random Subdictionaries [PDF]
We study statistical restricted isometry, a property closely related to sparse signal recovery, of deterministic sensing matrices of size $m \times N$. A matrix is said to have a statistical restricted isometry property (StRIP) of order $k$ if most submatrices with $k$ columns define a near-isometric map of ${\mathbb R}^k$ into ${\mathbb R}^m$.

Exact properties of Efron's biased coin randomization procedure [PDF]
Efron [Biometrika 58 (1971) 403--417] developed a restricted randomization procedure to promote balance between two treatment groups in a sequential clinical trial. He called this the biased coin design. He also introduced the concept of accidental bias,

randomizeR: An R Package for the Assessment and Implementation of Randomization in Clinical Trials
Randomization in clinical trials is the key design technique to ensure the comparability of treatment groups. Although there exist a large number of software products which assist the researcher to implement randomization, no tool which would cover a ...

Allocation techniques for balance at baseline in cluster randomized trials: a methodological review
Reviews have repeatedly noted important methodological issues in the conduct and reporting of cluster randomized controlled trials (C-RCTs). These reviews usually focus on whether the intracluster correlation was explicitly considered in the design and ...

The Influence of Matrix Size on Statistical Properties of Co-Occurrence and Limiting Similarity Null Models. [PDF]
Null models exploring species co-occurrence and trait-based limiting similarity are increasingly used to explore the influence of competition on community assembly; however, assessments of common models have not thoroughly explored the influence of ...
