Table 4.

Square root of mean square error (RMSE) relative to RMSE of fully-weighted estimator, and true coverage of the 95% CI or PPI of population mean estimator under the model μ_D that is not consistent with weight trimming. (Dotted line indicates 95% interval for 200 simulations of a binomial with a 95% success rate.)
