| 区块随机试验通常用于样本量较大的实验,以避免具有重要特征的样本分配不平衡。 在某些对随机试验有严格要求的领域,如临床试验,当没有对导体(conductors)进行盲法处理且区块块大小有限时,分配是可预测的。 分层中的块置换随机试验可能会随着分层数量的增加和样本量的限制而导致分层之间的样本不平衡,例如,有可能找不到符合某些分层特征的样本<ref>{{Cite book|title=Fundamentals of clinical trials|others=Friedman, Lawrence M., 1942-, Furberg, Curt,, DeMets, David L., 1944-, Reboussin, David,, Granger, Christopher B.|date=27 August 2015|isbn=978-3-319-18539-2|edition=Fifth|location=New York|oclc=919463985}}</ref>。 | | 区块随机试验通常用于样本量较大的实验,以避免具有重要特征的样本分配不平衡。 在某些对随机试验有严格要求的领域,如临床试验,当没有对导体(conductors)进行盲法处理且区块块大小有限时,分配是可预测的。 分层中的块置换随机试验可能会随着分层数量的增加和样本量的限制而导致分层之间的样本不平衡,例如,有可能找不到符合某些分层特征的样本<ref>{{Cite book|title=Fundamentals of clinical trials|others=Friedman, Lawrence M., 1942-, Furberg, Curt,, DeMets, David L., 1944-, Reboussin, David,, Granger, Christopher B.|date=27 August 2015|isbn=978-3-319-18539-2|edition=Fifth|location=New York|oclc=919463985}}</ref>。 |
| + | In order to guarantee the similarity of each treatment group, the "minimization" method attempts are made, which is more direct than random permuted block within strats. In the minimization method, samples in each stratum are assigned to treatment groups based on the sum of samples in each treatment group, which makes the number of subjects keep balance among the group. |
