Fixed and issue when too aggressive input validation in the randomize endpoint was causing the API to reject valid requests with current_state of length other than 2.
DevOps
Updated docker build GitHub Action to use the latest version of cosign and checkout actions.
unbiased 1.0.0
New Features
Adaptive Randomization Support:
Implemented support for adaptive randomization using Pocock’s minimization algorithm, integrating a new R function based on the Minirand package by Man Jin, Adam Polis, and Jonathan Hartzel (Minirand Package).
Introduced new POST endpoints facilitating the creation of studies and randomization of subjects.
Enhanced Retrieval Capabilities:
Added new GET endpoints for comprehensive access to study overviews, in-depth details, and information on randomized patients.
Audit Trial Mechanism:
Implemented an audit trial mechanism that systematically logs and stores each request in the database alongside unbiased’s response.
Introduced a new GET endpoint enabling users to access the complete audit trail for a specific study.
Vignettes / Articles
Added a new article benchmarking Pocock’s minimization algorithm against permuted block randomization and simple randomization, focusing on the balance of covariates.
DevOps Integration
Integrated project with Sentry to capture errors, empowering users to provide their credentials and receive notifications in the event of unexpected occurrences, including HTTP 500 instances.
Implemented GitHub Actions CI, ensuring that all tests must pass before merging.
Integrated project with CodeCov, achieving a code coverage of 95% or higher, with maintenance of the same level or improvement required for merging.
