randomisations
Arbitrary ordering processes
Randomisations is the plural of randomisation, the British spelling of randomization.
The term refers to instances or acts of making something random or arranging things in random order.
It appears most often in scientific and statistical contexts, where randomisations are procedures for assigning subjects to experimental groups without bias: Multiple randomisations were performed to ensure the validity of the study.
