Table 3.

Summary of the mean scale‐of‐choice effect (SCE) bias (statisticpooled − statisticaveraged; see Section 2) obtained under the SCE simulation for the three statistics (Pearson's r, C scaled, and C rough) for all N pair and choice values and averaged across the rest of factors (Ngroups, SD and CV)
