Here (h10, h01) are design parameters for the McNemar sample size approach, and (p0, p1, ρ) are the corresponding design parameters for the GEE sample size approach. We specify power 1 − γ = 0.8 and type I error α = 0.05. The empirical powers and type I errors are denoted by 1 − γ̂ and α̂, respectively.
