Arguments

• obj: object specifying the randomization procedure, see randPar

  or createParam.

• r: numeric indicating the number of random sequences to be generated at random, or missing.

• seed: a single value, interpreted as an integer, that specifies the seed for the random number generation.

Returns

An object inheriting from randSeq , representing the r

randomization sequences generated at random for the specified randomization procedure. The output consists of the parameters used for the generation of the randomization sequences (see createParam) and the matrix M

that stores the randomization sequences in its r rows. If r is missing, one sequence is generated by default.

Details

genSeq generates randomization sequences for a randomization procedure as defined by the input parameters. genSeq has two modes, according to the input.

1. genSeq(obj,r): gives r random sequences from the design specified by obj, along with the parameters stored in obj.
2. genSeq(obj): gives one random sequences from the design specified by obj, along with the parameters stored in obj.

The sequences are generated by using the Monte-Carlo sampling technique to sample from the true distribution of the sequences according to the randomization procedure specified by obj. The parameters of the randomization procedure are saved along with the sequences to ensure reproducibility of the results.

Examples

# generate randomization sequences using Complete Randomization for N = 10
myPar <- crPar(10)
genSeq(myPar, 4)
genSeq(myPar)

# generate randomization sequences using the Random Allocation Rule for N = 10
myPar <- rarPar(10)
genSeq(myPar, 4)
genSeq(myPar)

# generate randomization sequences using the Maximal Procedure with mti = 2 and N = 10
myPar <- mpPar(10, 2)
genSeq(myPar, 4)
genSeq(myPar)
