Hi Hötzi,

❝ Write a macro in SAS which loops until balance is obtained. Write an SOP. Get many signatures (aka dissipation of responsibilities).

❝ Or would you prefer to push the button once and end up with all females in sequence RT and the males in TR? :pirate:


Yah, it is a borderline case.
I think I would word the protocol and study title carefully. The study is not really randomised if some randomisations are better than others. This is when I think stratification must be part of the wording.

For Xovers I wouldn't normally have a worry as long as we talk non-Brazilian and non-Japanese submissions. For parallel studies I might be inclined to stratify formally if two genders are necessary.

Pass or fail!

Scientists often have a naïve faith that
if only they could discover enough facts about a problem,
these facts would somehow arrange themselves
in a compelling and true solution.    Theodosius Dobzhansky
