Table 3.

Comparison of type I error and power between the permutation test and the asymptotic test for models with only b and p1. The community is composed of 100 households of size 5. Results are based on 2000 simulations. 2000 permuted samples were drawn for each test

a

Type I errors are reported when p1 = 0.

b

Nidx is the average number of index cases.

c

Ntot is the average total number of cases.
