Abstract

In this article, I discuss the “misfits” problem, a practical issue that arises in random treatment assignment whenever observations cannot be neatly distributed among treatments. I also introduce the randtreat command, which performs random assignment of unequal treatment fractions and provides several methods to deal with misfits.
