Measures of performance are mean values from the estimation of the β parameters in Equation 1 across the 1000 simulated datasets of 1000 observations (compared to the true values from the synthetic population of 971,327). CCA = Complete Case Analysis; MVNI = Multivariate normal imputation; StdBias = standardised bias; SE = average (estimated) standard error across the 1000 datasets.
