Results from 5,000 Monte Carlo simulations with N* = 100, σ2 = 0.1,1.0,4.0, and N ranging from 100 to 10,000. The vertical axis shows the difference between standard deviation (SD) of β̂X from the misspecified and correct exposure models. A positive difference indicates that the correctly specified model is more efficient. For all values of σ2, the average exposure model prediction accuracies are R¯W2 between 0.73 and 0.75 and R¯W2 between 0.49 and 0.50 0.50.N=N*=R¯W2Va¯r(W)RW2α^3β^Xβ^Xβ^X0.001N=N*=σ2=1.0R¯W2=0.740.120.007R¯W2=0.490.210.001α^30.41α^3N=N*=σ2=0.1R¯W2=0.730.230.035R¯W2=0.500.160.001RW2144α^31.37α^3N*=σ2=0.1,1.0,4.0Nβ^Xσ2R¯W20.730.75R¯W20.490.50.
