a very urgunt and important question about R
Hi
I recommend to start with
library(fortunes)
fortune("surgery")
Anyway, beside Introduction to R you could go through
CRAN Task View: Design of Experiments (DoE) & Analysis of Experimental Data
and specifically through
Experimental designs for clinical trials
This task view only covers specific design of experiments packages; there may be some grey areas. Please, also consult the ClinicalTrials task view.
*experiment contains tools for clinical experiments, e.g., a randomization tool, and it provides a few special analysis options for clinical trials.
*Package gsDesign implements group sequential designs,
*Package gsbDesign evaluates operating characteristics for group sequential Bayesian designs,
*package asd implements adaptive sequential designs.
*Package TEQR provides toxicity equivalence range designs (Blanchard and Longmate 2010) for phase I clinical trials.
*The DoseFinding package provides functions for the design and analysis of dose-finding experiments (for example pharmaceutical Phase II clinical trials); it combines the facilities of the "MCPMod" package (maintenance discontinued; described in Bornkamp, Pinheiro and Bretz 2009) with a special type of optimal designs for dose finding situations (MED-optimal designs, or D-optimal designs, or a mixture of both; cf., Dette et al. 2008)
Which shall provide you with some insight.
Regards
Petr

I mean I must randomize the clients (all women) to two kinds of treatment (called "treatment as usual" and "narrative exposure therapy") and three different therapists. I tried to do this randomization by using R software and by using stratification package but I didn't (and still can not) understand how I should use R for this job. Could you please help me and show me how I should use R for this kind of randomization in a really easy way? I really appreciate your help in advance. Best Mina P.S. I just know little about statistics and software. Please teach me in a really easy way.
