It can be used in contexts related to programming, data analysis, or resource management where something is assigned or designated to a comparator function or component.

At one year follow-up, only participants allocated to Weight Watchers reported more activity than the comparator group, although this was not statistically significant.
12 days prior to the start of the experiments, the animals were randomly allocated to approximately-equal control (saline), treatment (BNO 1095), or comparator (carprofen) groups (n = 12 14 per group) and acclimatized in groups of 4 animals to their new cages.
The study by Rives et al did not use a comparator group and all patients were allocated to receive a splint.
We examined the effect of choosing a weight loss programme over being allocated to one by using a regression model that compared the programme randomised or chosen with the minimal intervention comparator but additionally included a single term to assess whether having chosen the programme had an additional beneficial effect over being randomised to the programme.
The additional percentage of participants who reported meeting international activity recommendations at 12 months, compared with baseline, was 11-47% in participants allocated to receive an intervention, and 8-47% in those allocated to receive a comparator intervention.
At one year follow-up, participants in all the programmes apart from the one to one programmes in primary care and pharmacy settings had a significant weight loss from baseline, but only those allocated to Weight Watchers had a significantly greater loss than the comparator group.
Those allocated to the general practice arm were doing statistically significantly less physical activity than the comparator group (table 6).
