Performance of the proposed () and model-based estimators ( and ) in terms of bias, empirical standard deviation (ESD), average standard deviation (ASD) obtained using the proposed perturbation-resampling approach, mean squared error (MSE) and coverage of the 95% confidence intervals obtained using both the quantiles of the perturbed estimates (Quantile) and Fieller's method (Fieller), in Setting (iii) where there are three surrogate markers and the models assumed by the flexible model-based estimator, , are correctly specified, and Setting (iv) where there are three surrogate markers and the specified models are not correct with nT = nS = 200 and with nT = nS = 1000.
