Improper analysis of trials randomised using stratified blocks or minimisation.

TL;DR: It is shown that balancing treatment groups using stratification leads to correlation between the treatment groups, and if this correlation is ignored and an unadjusted analysis is performed, standard errors for the treatment effect will be biased upwards, resulting in 95% confidence intervals that areToo wide, type I error rates that are too low and a reduction in power.
Journal ArticleDOI

Handling Covariates in the Design of Clinical Trials.

TL;DR: A new class of procedures, covariate-adjusted response adaptive (CARA) randomization procedures that attempt to optimize both efficiency and ethical considerations, while maintaining randomization are advocated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asymptotic properties of covariate-adjusted response-adaptive designs

TL;DR: In this article, a framework for covariate-adjusted response-adaptive (CARA) designs is proposed for the allocation of subjects to K (≥ 2) treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generalized method for adaptive randomization in clinical trials

TL;DR: The paper lists the desirable characteristics of allocation methods and shows that the proposed method fulfils the majority and is easy to use in the clinical context, once the coding has been established.

Rerandomization to improve covariate balance in experiments

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that covariate data are available before units are exposed to treatments and can be used to check covariate balance before the physical experiment takes place, provided a precise definition of imbalance has been specified.

fMRI of Emotion Regulation of Negative Self-Beliefs

TL;DR: Meditation practice was associated with decreases in negative emotion and social anxiety symptom severity, and increases in attention-related parietal cortex neural responses when implementing attention regulation of negative self-beliefs.
