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