Table 2.

Power and type I error from tests for treatment effects (interaction between Passenger Presence and Passenger Type) based on 500 data sets, each with a sample size of 60, under different models and different treatment effect α3 in the occurrence outcome, treatment effect β3 xin the intensity outcome, and random effects effect β3 correlation ρ. The size for all the tests was set at .05. The rows represent the different parameterizations of α3, β3, and ρ. Columns 2 through 4 list the power corresponding to the different tests. Where effect α3 = β3 = 0, the values are type I errors.
