For sequential allocation, the functions the user will interact with directly are pba and pbaAgain. Both of these functions perform propensity-biased allocation, producing a treatment assignment for the current unit, among other information. The function plotpi can be used to investigate the strength of balance forced by various values of the tuning parameter k, with curves for new values of k added to the plot via addpi. For randomization when all baseline covariates are known, use pcr, which will conduct propensity-constrained randomization. The remaining functions are called from these internally.
