Question | Answer |
---|---|
subjects are unaware of exact treatment being imposed on them | single blind |
subjects and the experimenter are unaware of the exact treatment being imposed | double blind |
subjects who participate but do not follow the experimental treatment | nonadherers |
some subjects that we want in our study may refuse to participate | refusals |
subjects may start in the study and the later dropout; especially true for experiments that last over an extended period of time | dropouts |
all experimental subjects are allocated at random among all the treatments; break everyone everyone into groups randomly | completely randomized |
subjects matched to form pairs, or each subject receives both treatments. not completely random, reduces variation, smaller MOE, more statistical significance | matched pairs design |
group of experimental subjects that are known before the experiment to be similar in some way that is expected to to affect the response to the treatments | block |
random assignment of subjects to treatments is carried out separately within each block | block design |
