Subgroup analysis, in the context of design and analysis of experiments, refers to looking for pattern in a subset of the subjects[1].

Proposed best practice is to use adjust by any stratification variables from randomization[2], or to adjust subgroup comparisons with multivariable risk prediction[3]; however, this is not commonly done[4].

Selectively missing data may affect subroup analyses.
