Propensity scores as a novel method to guide sample allocation and minimize batch effects during the design of high throughput experiments

We developed a novel approach to minimize batch effects when assigning samples to batches. Our algorithm selects a batch allocation, among all possible ways of assigning samples to batches, that minimizes differences in average propensity score between batches. This strategy was compared to randomization and stratified randomization in a case-control …
