报告摘要：
Many seeds of important statistical ideas were never nurtured in the 20th century because of the absence of modern computing. One of the most important of these is the use of rerandomization to eliminate bad allocations from the set of possible allocations. New mathematical results are immediate and important practical consequences are abundant. Several examples will be presented, from simple “A/B” or “treatment/control” evaluations, to situations involving multi-factorial experiments, including fractional and sequential designs. The research area is essentially unexplored and thus wide open for innovative work bridging classical statistics and modern machine learning.
