Description
Optimal Rerandomization Experimental Designs.
Description
This is a tool to find the optimal rerandomization threshold in non-sequential experiments. We offer three procedures based on assumptions made on the residuals distribution: (1) normality assumed (2) excess kurtosis assumed (3) entire distribution assumed. Illustrations are included. Also included is a routine to unbiasedly estimate Frobenius norms of variance-covariance matrices. Details of the method can be found in "Optimal Rerandomization via a Criterion that Provides Insurance Against Failed Experiments" Adam Kapelner, Abba M. Krieger, Michael Sklar and David Azriel (2020) <arXiv:1905.03337>.
