[R] Package or packages for randomization in a clinical trial

2009-04-21 Thread John Sorkin
Can anyone recommend a package that can be used to randomize subjects? I am 
looking for a generalized package, or several packages that can accomplish 
unrestricted randomization (i.e. simple random assignment)
restricted randomization including stratified randomization, blocked 
randomization, and adaptive randomization.
Thanks,
John

John,

Take a look at the 'blockrand' and 'crossdes' packages on CRAN.

If you need something beyond those, it is not overly difficult to  
write functions in R to do this.


HTH,
