HW1 Question5,6

by Fanxiu Xiong -

Hi,

For Q5 and Q6, I'm not sure what "unconditional randomization" means. Does it refer to assigning A at random within levels of L, so that there is no association between A and L?


Thanks

"Unconditional randomization" implies randomization that is NOT within levels of L. Each person in the population (regardless of his or her value of L) is randomized according to the same exposure probability.

Got it, thanks! I also looked up page 17 of the Causal Inference book, there is a perfect example and explanation on it.

Thanks
