Table 3.

Estimates, standard deviations (SD), and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using both the quantile method (Quantile) and Fieller's method (Fieller) for estimates of the proportion of treatment effect explained by each of three potential surrogate markers alone (walking distance, walking speed and stair climbing obtained from the WIQ) and the proportion explained by all three together, where the outcome of interest is change in 6 minute walking distance from baseline to 12 months using the proposed estimator, R^S, the flexible model-based estimator, R^SM, and Freedman's estimator, R^SF
