Represents the randomization procedure Big Stick Design.
bsdPar(N, mti, groups = LETTERS[1:2])S4 object of the class bsdPar.
integer for the total sample size of the trial.
maximum tolerated imbalance in patient numbers during the trial.
character vector of labels for the different treatments.
Tossing a fair coin as long as the difference in group sizes does not
exceed the mti. If the mti is reached a deterministic
allocation is done, so that the difference in group sizes is reduced.
