Notes. “MPB” = marginal-probabilities-based (expression 3); “CPB” = conditional-probabilities-based (expression 5), In all conditions, the proportion of responders was set to approximately 0.565 given A1=+1 and 0.336 given A1=1; this difference is the reason why the pre-post correlation Cor(Y0,Y1) could not be set to exactly zero. The odds ratio shown is for pairwise comparison of +, to , adaptive interventions, which is equivalent here to the effect of A1. For simplicity of interpretation, A2 and the A1×A2 interaction were set to have no effect on Y1. The simulated power shown for the two-wave model uses the covariate adjustment approach (pretest as covariate); the repeated measures approach had approximately the same power, or in some conditions about 0.005% higher.
