# Wei's Urn

Wei's Urn weights the assignment of a new subject by adjusting the probability of the Bernoulli random variable used to determine the next group according to which group is under represented. The adjusted probability is a dynamic value based on the imbalance in the current list.

Suppose that $$n_{r}$$ is the total number of subjects already randomize and $$n_{r1}$$ is the number of subjects already randomized to Group 1. The probability that the next subject will be randomized to Group 1 is:

$p_{1} = 1 - \frac{n_{r1}}{n_{r}}$

This method is only approriate for 2 groups.
