Hello Ana Cristina,

I am thinking you can play around with this:


Ana.Cristinas.Randomizer2=function(Seed, N, WriteFile=F)
{
  if (N %% 4 != 0) {cat("N not divisible by four.!\n");return("Error.")}
  Gender=rep(c("F", "M"), N/2)
  Subject=c(1:N)
  Seqx=c(rep("TR", N/2), rep("RT", N/2))
  SeqF=sample(Seqx, replace=F)
  SeqM=sample(Seqx, replace=F)
  Seq=NULL
  for (i in 1:(N/2)) Seq=c(Seq, SeqF[i], SeqM[i])
  TrtP1=substr(Seq,1,1)
  TrtP2=substr(Seq,2,2)
  Rslt=data.frame(Subject, Gender, Seq, TrtP1, TrtP2)
  L1=paste("\n\nDate: ", format(Sys.Date(), format="%B %d %Y"),
     " Seed=", Seed, "\n\n", sep="")
  L2="\n\n\n\n\n______________________________\n"
  L3="Signature, date\n"
  if (WriteFile)
  {
    FN=paste(format(Sys.Date(), format="%B %d %Y"), " ", Seed,".txt", sep="")
    sink(file=FN)
    cat(L1)
    print(Rslt, row.names=F)
    cat(L2)
    cat(L3)   
    sink()
  }
  cat(L1)
  print(Rslt)
  return("Success.")
}

##can be run with e.g.
Ana.Cristinas.Randomizer2(12341234, 16, TRUE)


When the last argument is TRUE the function will print the randomisation code into a text file which is dated, contains the seed and which you can print and date+sign by hand. The filename is unique to the combination of date and seed.

Pass or fail!

Most scientists today are devoid of ideas, full of fear, intent on
producing some paltry result so that they can add to the flood
of inane papers that now constitutes “scientific progress”
in many areas.    Paul Feyerabend
