formatRand

The function <code>formatRand</code> formats the dataset for the randomization function. This function inputs serum data for both the study subjects and QC.

Provides randomization using permutation for applications.  To provide a Quality Control (QC) check, QC samples can be randomized within strata.  A second function allows for the ability to ”switch” samples to meet set requirements and perform a certain amount of minimization on these switches.  The functions are flexible for users by specifying strata size and number of QC samples per strata.  The randomization meets the following requirements
• QC sample requirements: QC samples not adjacent, QC
samples from same mother must follow certain patterns.
• Matched sample sets must be within a single strata, and next
to each other.
