Usage¶
To use smallerize in a project:
import smallerize
Or:
from smallerize import Arm, Factor, Minimizer
A simple example of setting up a trial and assigning a participant is:
from smallerize import Arm, Factor, Minimizer
sex = Factor('Sex', levels=['Male', 'Female'])
site = Factor('Site', levels=['A', 'B', 'C'])
minimizer = Minimizer(
factors=[sex, site],
arms=[Arm('Treat'), Arm('Control')],
d_imbalance_method='standard_deviation',
probability_method='best_only',
preferred_p=0.75
)
new_participant = {'Sex': 'Female', 'Site': 'B'}
assigned_arm = minimizer.assign_participant(new_participant)
Simulation¶
You can also use the simulate
module to compare the performance
of different allocation methods and settings:
from smallerize import simulate
