Table 3b.
Asymptotic (Asym) and empirical (Emp) powers for 5-visit studies from 2000 simulations under various values for a0 (true value of a), b0 (true value of b), sample size n and drop out rate pd, with joint significance test (Joint Sig) and normal approximation (Norm Appr) methods used for the test of Δ = ab. For normal approximation method, percentage that 95% confidence interval covers the true value (Cover) is also presented. Bias is the simulation bias of Δ̂ = âb̂.
