Hi Ana,

❝ By the function randomizeBE the result appears like this:

❝ Example: seed 2047732 blocksize: 2 created: 2018-02-24 12:38:06


Function RL4() of package randomizeBE generates a list containing as one of its elements the data frame rl. You can manipulate it as you like: Add a column for sex, shuffle it, and assign new subject numbers. If you want to see what is going on behind the scenes, uncomment the print-lines.

library(randomizeBE)
n         <- 16
blocksize <- n/2
random    <- RL4(nsubj=n, seqs=c("TR", "RT"),
                 blocksize=blocksize, randctrl=TRUE)
random$rl <- cbind(random$rl, sex="F", stringsAsFactors=FALSE) # "F" default
# change second half to "M"
random$rl$sex[which(random$rl$subject > blocksize)] <- "M"
# print(random$rl, row.names=FALSE) # intermediate
random$rl <- random$rl[sample(nrow(random$rl)), ] # shuffle
# print(random$rl, row.names=FALSE) # intermediate
random$rl$subject <- 1:n # new subject numbers
print(random) # final


Gave on my machine without a specified seed (i.e., based on the system clock and the process ID)

You have to give the code in the SAP. Otherwise an assessor will not be able to reproduce it.

If you want to get output similar to your original post, add these lines before the final print(random)

random$rl <- cbind(random$rl, per.1=NA, per.2=NA)
random$rl$per.1 <- paste0(substring(random$rl$sequence, 1, 1), "   ")
random$rl$per.2 <- paste0(substring(random$rl$sequence, 2, 2), "   ")
random$rl$sequence <- NULL
random$rl <- random$rl[, c("subject", "sex", "seqno", "per.1", "per.2")]
names(random$rl) <- c("sujeito", "sexo", "seq", "period 1", "period 2")


to get:

       4    M   1     T        R

       6    F   1     T        R   
       7    M   2     R        T   
       8    M   2     R        T   
       9    M   1     T        R   
      10    M   1     T        R   
      11    M   2     R        T   
      12    F   2     R        T   
      13    F   1     T        R   
      14    F   2     R        T   
      15    M   1     T        R   
      16    F   2     R        T   




Edit: Don’t use this code. For an update see this post.
