Table 2.

Simulation comparison of the FAWE and MI estimators of the Cox model parameter β = (−ln(2), ln(2)), where ZmN(1/2, 1/12), ZoBernoulli(0.5) and Zm and Zo are independent; Weibull baseline hazard λ0(t) = 0.8(0.6)0.8t−0.2, exponential censoring time, censoring rate 70%; and selection probability π(X, δ, Zo) = (1 + exp(0.35 − 2δXZo))−1.

Notes: Cohort size is 250 and the expected number of complete observations is 163 with 91% cases and 54% controls selected.

The numbers in bold are those with |PB| > 5% or CR < 0.90.

For FAWE, both π and E were obtained based on (X, δ, Zo) using the Nadaraya-Watson estimator with normal kernel and bandwidth h=4σWnW1/3.

For MI, imputation models contained (X, δ, Zo).
