Primes¶
- Blocking (In Experimental Design)
- T1 — Known-heterogeneity benefit versus design-constraint cost. Blocking pays off to the extent that the blocking variable is correlated with outcomes; when correlation is strong, blocking can cut required sample size by 20–50%
This sourceSynthesizes balancing/weighting and pre-treatment-outcome matching methods, formalizing how correlation between covariates/blocking variables and outcomes drives precision gains
