GreedyExperimentalDesign
Greedy Experimental Design Construction
Computes experimental designs for two-arm experiments with covariates using multiple methods, including: (0) complete randomization and randomization with forced-balance; (1) greedy optimization of a balance objective function via pairwise switching; (2) numerical optimization via 'gurobi'; (3) rerandomization; (4) Karp's method for one covariate; (5) exhaustive enumeration for small sample sizes; (6) binary pair matching using 'nbpMatching'; (7) binary pair matching plus method (1) to further optimize balance; (8) binary pair matching plus method (3) to further optimize balance; (9) Hadamard designs; and (10) simultaneous multiple kernels. For the greedy, rerandomization, and related methods, three objective functions are supported: Mahalanobis distance, standardized sums of absolute differences, and kernel distances via the 'kernlab' library. This package is the result of a stream of research that can be found in Krieger, A. M., Azriel, D. A., and Kapelner, A. (2019). "Nearly Random Designs with Greatly Improved Balance."
