I once reviewed tables for a randomized study and noticed several comments about testing the baseline characteristics. The commenters were arguing which test would be best to test for the differences between the 2 randomized groups at baseline.

This made my first angry about the wasted time and then curious about the reasons, statisticians still do this.

In today's episode, Benjamin and I discuss some backgrounds for baseline testing in randomized studies.

Listen to this episode, share it with others who might learn from it, and be an effective statistician!
