*'''Comment''' I think there is a real topic here, as in the field of randomized algorithms, how one goes about randomizing the problems matters--uniform vs nonuniform distributions, is it possible to derandomize an algorithm, etc. But I don't know that the randomizing process in that field is canonically called a "Randomization function". If it is a neologism, then the article should probably be deleted. But if this is standard terminology (my knowledge of the field stops at Motwani and Raghavan), then a redirect to [[Randomized_algorithm#Motivation]] which briefly mentions such functions, may be warranted. --<code>{{u|[[User:Mark viking|Mark viking]]}} {[[User talk:Mark viking|Talk]]}</code> 20:48, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
* I can see how this article could make sense if it defined a randomization function to be 'a randomized algorithm that maps a problem instance to another equivalent problem instance' or something along that line. However, as far as I know 'Randomization function' is not standard terminology in the field of randomized algorithms. At least, I have not been able to find any references where the term is use like this. [[User:Plusminusone|Plusminusone]] ([[User talk:Plusminusone|talk]]) 19:16, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
