Represents the randomization procedure Generalized Biased Coin Design.
gbcdPar(N, rho, groups = LETTERS[1:2])integer for the total sample size of the trial.
nonnegative parameter which my be adjusted according to how strongly it is
desired to balance the experiment. If rho = 1, we have Wei's urn design with
alpha = 0. If rho = 0, we have complete randomization.
