†
For each scenario, each entry is the percentage of simulations in which each schedule was chosen as the MTS, with the average percentage of patients assigned to each schedule in parentheses. Rows A correspond to the results by using the model proposed; rows B correspond to the results by using Braun et al. (2005). Values in italics correspond to schedules within a 10-point neighbourhood of pω = 0.40.
