Computer-based randomization is a process of random resources allocation that

  • Excludes any human factor and possible conscious or unconscious interference
  • Easy in use, and can be compared to the process of lottery or balloting, which

with familiar to many people очень. In fact, it is a random selection of a certain number of objects from a variety of similar objects.

What is randomization?

SLIDE 3
  • Computer programs are preferable in cases where the number of objects is large, since

this significantly reduces the time spent on randomization. Modern computers can randomize tens of thousands of objects in a matter of seconds.

  • During computer randomization, the program generates a random number for each
  • bject, usually in a certain interval, for example from zero to one. Given the

randomness of the numbers, objects can be easily divided into any number of groups by sorting random numbers, for instance, in an ascending order.

Why do we use a software for randomization process?

Randomization implementation plan

Step 0. Prepare data for randomization. Before the actual randomization, we prepared the list of projects that successfully passed the stage of Evaluation Committee assessment (Stage II) in Microsoft Excel document as follows:

Project registration number Region Number of the vulnerable people Number of women Number of people with disabilities Total number of participants

Step 1. Importing and data validation

  • To perform randomization, we use the Stata program, thus we import

data from Microsoft Excel into the Stata program.

  • We review the statistical data by regions based on the share of

vulnerable people, share of people with disabilities, share of women using the tabstat command in the Stata program

  • Determine and fix the values in percentages in Microsoft Excel

Step 2. Performing randomization

  • Using the rnormal () command of the Stata program, we assign a

random value to each project ranging between -4 and +4

  • Sort projects in an ascending order
  • We determine the first 3505 beneficiaries to award grants

Step 3. Data check

  • Using the tabstat command in the Stata program, we check the

minimum values of all shares by region

  • We identify and fix the value after randomization indicated in

percentage in Microsoft Excel, compare with the original data

  • Complete the randomization process
