A vector with the allocation sequence for a clinical trial.
It will contain a zero (resp. 1) at position i
, when patient i
is allocated to treatment A (resp. B).
integer for the total sample size of the trial.
maximum tolerated imbalance in patient numbers during the trial.
success probability of the biased coin (e.g. in Efron's Biased Coin Design).
