Notes. In all of these conditions, the average estimated odds ratio for the effect of A1 was set to 3.0 for Y1 and 2.0 for Y2, in terms of the 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. The conditions differ in the relationship of the simulated late follow-up Y2 to the baseline assessment Y0 and initial treatment A1. The simulated decay in effect size over time between Y1 and Y2 is intended to be analogous to that found in many real-world clinical trials.
