Table 1.

The estimates of the mean, standard error (SE), standard deviation (SD), and coverage probabilities (CP) of 95% credible intervals based on logistic regression (LR), the reduced model, and the proposed model assuming either conditional independence or conditional dependence. ARE is asymptotic relative efficiency of the proposed model with respect to the reduced model.
