Text of the page (random words):
sually given nearly the same weight as those with true randomization but are viewed with a bit more caution benefits of random assignment edit imagine an experiment in which the participants are not randomly assigned perhaps the first 10 people to arrive are assigned to the experimental group and the last 10 people to arrive are assigned to the control group at the end of the experiment the experimenter finds differences between the experimental group and the control group and claims these differences are a result of the experimental procedure however they also may be due to some other preexisting attribute of the participants e g people who arrive early versus people who arrive late imagine the experimenter instead uses a coin flip to randomly assign participants if the coin lands heads up the participant is assigned to the experimental group if the coin lands tails up the participant is assigned to the control group at the end of the experiment the experimenter finds differences between the experimental group and the control group because each participant had an equal chance of being placed in any group it is unlikely the differences could be attributable to some other preexisting attribute of the participant e g those who arrived on time versus late potential issues edit random assignment does not guarantee that the groups are matched or equivalent the groups may still differ on some preexisting attribute due to chance the use of random assignment cannot eliminate this possibility but it greatly reduces it to express this same idea statistically if a randomly assigned group is compared to the mean it may be discovered that they differ even though they were assigned from the same group if a test of statistical significance is applied to randomly assigned groups to test the difference between sample means against the null hypothesis that they are equal to the same population mean i e population mean of differences 0 given the probability distribution the null hypothesis will sometimes be rejected that is deemed not plausible that is the groups will be sufficiently different on the variable tested to conclude statistically that they did not come from the same population even though procedurally they were assigned from the same total group for example using random assignment may create an assignment to groups that has 20 blue eyed people and 5 brown eyed people in one group this is a rare event under random assignment but it could happen and when it does it might add some doubt to the causal agent in the experimental hypothesis random sampling edit random sampling is a related but distinct process 2 random sampling is recruiting participants in a way that they represent a larger population 2 because most basic statistical tests require the hypothesis of an independent randomly sampled population random assignment is the desired assignment method because it provides control for all attributes of the members of the samples in contrast to matching on only one or more variables and provides the mathematical basis for estimating the likelihood of group equivalence for characteristics one is interested in both for pretreatment checks on equivalence and the evaluation of post treatment results using inferential statistics more advanced statistical modeling can be used to adapt the inference to the sampling method history edit randomization was emphasized in the theory of statistical inference of charles s peirce in illustrations of the logic of science 1877 1878 and a theory of probable inference 1883 peirce applied randomization in the peirce jastrow experiment on weight perception charles s peirce randomly assigned volunteers to a blinded repeated measures design to evaluate their ability to discriminate weights 3 4 5 6 peirce s experiment inspired other researchers in psychology and education which developed a research tradition of randomized experiments in laboratories and specialized textbooks in the eighteen hundreds 3 4 5 6 jerzy neyman advocated randomization in survey sampling 1934 and in experiments 1923 7 ronald a fisher advocated randomization in his book on experimental
