From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Database normalization, or simply normalization, is the process of organizing the columns (attributes) and tables (relations) of a relational database to reduce data redundancy and improve data integrity.
Randomized Block Designs. The Randomized Block Design is research design's equivalent to stratified random sampling. Like stratified sampling, randomized block designs are constructed to reduce noise or variance in the data (see Classifying the Experimental Designs). How do they do it? They require that the researcher divide the sample into relatively homogeneous subgroups or blocks (analogous to strata in stratified sampling). Then, the experimental design you want to implement is implemented within each block or homogeneous subgroup.
