Summary of simulation parameters.*

Simulation Model parameters Study parameters Values allocated through simulation
1 θ = 0.5 si fixed at 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8 and 0.9 for studies 1 to 5 respectively N was randomly allocated between 50 and 1000 in steps of 50 with N/2 in each group (intervention/control)
β = 0
φ2 = 0.15 δi = 0.5 + β + ɛi
φi2 ≈ (φ2φ2si) /si δi ~ N (0.5, φi2)
vi=4N+δ^i22N δi~N(δi,4N+0.522N)
2 Same as simulation (1) Qi randomly allocated between 0.1 and 0.9.
Rest same as simulation (1)
Same as simulation (1)
3 β = 0.1 Same as simulation (1) δi ~ N (0.6, φi2)
Rest same as simulation (1) Rest same as simulation (1)
