Simulation results for the general measurement error model with Gaussian subject-specific and random error. For 1000 simulated data sets, the mean bias, empirical standard deviation (SD), bootstrap standard deviation (BSD), root mean squared error (RSME) and estimated 95% coverage probability (CP) are given for β = log 1.5, log 3.
