Notes: 500 simulation studies; 229 internal validation observations and 687 main study observations per simulation. Data were generated from a multinomial distribution with cell probabilities of (π11 = 0.30, π10 = 0.10, π01 = 0.20, π00 = 0.40). True log (OR) = 1.79. Naïve model uses (Y*, X*) data. Gold-standard model uses (Y, X) data. Model 1 assumes dependent and differential misclassification. Model 2 assumes independent and differential misclassification. Model 3 assumes completely nondifferential misclassification. Model selection based on the strategy described in Section 2.7.

a

Model 3 selected 87.2% of the time.

b

Model 2 selected 90.6% of the time.

c

Model 1 selected 95.8% of the time.
